1 hour 40 mins ago

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has accepted an urgent request from Pakistan to delay presentation of a U.N. report on the 2007 assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the world body said on Tuesday.

The report on a nine-month inquiry by a three-person U.N. panel, was originally due to be presented by Wednesday, but Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari requested it be delayed until April 15, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.

Nesirky gave no reason for the Pakistani request.

The panel, headed by Chile's U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, looked into the circumstances surrounding the attack that killed Bhutto after an election campaign rally in Rawalpindi city on December 27, 2007.

1. Curious.

The "big fish" suspects are all reportedly dead -- Haji Omar Khan was killed in a Predator strike, too, a different one from the one that finally got Baitullah Mehsud (he survived several, IIRC). Sheikh Issa al Masri is in Pakistan custody, probably, unless he's dead too.

I wonder what's in the report. And what will happen between now and April 15.
