UN begins Bhutto killing inquiry

A United Nations inquiry into the assassination of former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto has formally began.

It is headed by Chile's ambassador to the UN, Heraldo Munoz, and includes a former Indonesian attorney general and a former senior Irish police officer.

The inquiry will last six months and investigate the "facts and circumstances" of Ms Bhutto's death.

The three-member inquiry team will arrive in Pakistan later this month and submit its report to the UN Secretary General in six months, reports say.
