THE Pakistani President says his government is committed to finding the truth behind the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.
Pervez Musharraf, responding to calls to seek outside help with the investigation, last week asked Britain to assist and a team of British police arrived in Islamabad on Friday.
The president met the Scotland Yard team on Tuesday and said the government was committed to 'unearthing the evidence, finding out the truth and bringing those responsible for this heinous crime to justice'.
Musharraf told British investigators during the meeting that they would have the full cooperation of all of Pakistan's investigation agencies.
Ms. Bhutto's son, and political heir, Bilawal, has said that he does not trust Pakistan's investigation into his mother's death.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated a call for a UN investigation during a press conference Tuesday in London.
Ms. Bhutto was killed December 27 in a gun and suicide bomb attack after an election rally.
