Un Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon intends to set up a special commission of inquiry to investigate the death of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, says a spokeswoman in New York, according to CNN. He is on his first official visit to the country. Bhutto headed the opposition party in Pakistan when she was killed by a bomb explosion in December 2007, after she had warned President Musharraf that four members of his government were plotting her death. Musharraf was ousted in February 2008 elections.
