US May Intervene In Investigation Of Bhutto's Assassination
Mr. Musharraf and his supporters in the Bush administration, meanwhile, were coming under increasing pressure, inside and outside Pakistan, to open up the inquiry. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, said Friday that the United States should call for an independent investigation.
"I don't think the Pakistani government at this time under President Musharraf has any credibility at all," she told CNN in an interview. She suggested an investigation along the lines of the ongoing international inquiry into the assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.
State Department officials said they had no plans for the moment to join the investigation.
But a senior Bush administration official said, "There's a growing sense that we're going to have to work on the investigation in some way, that it can't just be a Pakistani investigation."The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue, said that
administration officials were concerned that "there's so much distrust" of the Musharraf government among Pakistanis that outside nations may have to join the investigation to give the findings any credibility. A second administration official said the idea of an independent international investigation had been proposed by "a number of people, and is certainly something that hasn't been ruled out." But, he added, no decision had been made.
