An official from former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s party says Parliament has passed a resolution seeking a U.N. probe into her case. Izhar Amrohvi says Pakistani lawmakers were unanimous in adopting the resolution late Monday. It urges the government to request the U.N. to investigate Bhutto’s assassination in December. President Pervez Musharraf has blamed a Taliban militant leader, Baitullah Mehsud, for the attack, although Mehsud denies it. Musharraf had opposed a U.N. probe but had allowed the Scotland Yard to look into what caused her death. Pakistan’s new government and parliament is dominated by a coalition led by Bhutto’s party.
