اقوام متحدہ کی کمپشن بینظیر قتل کی رپورٹ جمعرات بعد دوپھر پیش کریگی۔۔۔

(CNN) -- A U.N. commission investigating the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is expected to release its report Thursday afternoon. The three-member panel was initially scheduled to deliver its findings to U.N. Secretary-General Ban ki-moon on March 30, but agreed to delay it for two weeks following a request from Islamabad.

Pakistan wanted the U.N. body to interview three foreign leaders, including former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Those leaders apparently issued warnings to Bhutto before she returned to Pakistan to participate in the country's general elections -- and was subsequently killed.

The former prime minister returned home in 2007 from a eight-year self-imposed exile.

She was killed at a rally in the city of Rawalpindi on December 27 when a bomber blew himself up near her limousine.

Videotape showed a gunman firing toward her vehicle as she left the rally.

The administration of Pervez Musharraf -- the military ruler who was in power at the time -- and the CIA contended the killing was orchestrated by Baitullah Mehsud, a leader of the Pakistani Talibanwith ties to al Qaeda.

Mehsud was killed last year in a suspected U.S. drone strike last year, according to al Qaeda's commander of operations in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu Yazid.

Nationwide polls conducted shortly after Bhutto's death found that a majority of Pakistanis believe Musharraf's government was complicit in the assassination.

Following her death, Bhutto's supporters took to the streets. The ensuing violence caused damage of more than $200 million (12 billion Pakistani rupees) and killed at least 58 people, government officials said.

Her party, the Pakistan People's Party, went on to win the most number of seats in elections held the following year. Musharraf resigned. Bhutto's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, became president.

Zardari asked the United Nations to look into his wife's death to try and reconcile inconsistencies of how she died and who was behind the attack.

An inquiry by London's Scotland Yard ruled that Bhutto died from the blast and not gunfire.

The U.N. commission said it conducted a nine-month fact-finding investigation, meeting with "dozens" of people, including Musharraf.

The report will be formally presented to Ban at 4:30 p.m. ET, his spokesman Martin Nesirky said Wednesday.

The secretary-general will then share it with the Security Council and with Pakistan.

At 5:30 p.m., the commission chair -- Ambassador Heraldo Munoz of Chile -- will brief reporters on the findings.
