UNITED NATIONS, Oct 22: The ambassador of the United States to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, on Monday underscored American support for ‘credible investigation’ into Thursday’s assassination attempt on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairperson Benazir Bhutto, and asked the international community to afford every possible help to the investigators.
Talking to reporters following the UN Security Council meeting, Mr Khalilzad said: “We support a credible investigation that will get to the bottom of what has happened so that perpetrators of the attacks be brought to justice.”
The US ambassador called upon the international community to help “Pakistan achieve that objective” in the light of the United Nations Security Council’s presidential statement adopted earlier in which “the Security Council reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations.”
