Unveiling a draft petition prepared by the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) lawyers seeking a UN-led inquiry into Bhutto's killing, her husband and party co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari said the PPP was not satisfied with the probe being conducted into the assassination by Pakistani security agencies with the help of Britain's Scotland Yard.
If the government did not approach the UN within 48 hours to seek a probe on the lines of the world body's inquiry into the assassination of Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri, the PPP would ask the UN to take suo motu action, he said.
"I appeal to the people and governments of the world and to the friends of democracy across the world to help us, to use their influence on the government of Pakistan to send this letter and get this commission (set up to probe Bhutto's killing)," Zardari told a news conference in Bhutto's ancestral home in Naudero village.
The Pakistan government has already ruled out any UN-led inquiry into Bhutto's assassination in Rawalpindi on December 27. Bowing to pressure from the PPP and other quarters, President Pervez Musharraf last week sought help from the Scotland Yard to assist in the probe into her killing.
Farooq Naek, the lawyer who led the PPP team that drafted the petition, said Bhutto would not have been assassinated if Pakistan's security services had provided her adequate protection.

I find this request quite ammusing. In matter such as this Pakistanis are not much different from Indians. While it is not for me to comment but why should UN be involved in something which is entirely a domestic matter involving Pakistanis. Let them resolve it amongst themselves the way the see it fit.
Ab Mushie kya karega? Khana khayega, paani piyega, phir so jayega.... Basically he won't do a gosh darn thing!
If Musharaff, Pakistan Military and ISI want to prove that they were not involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, they should allow a UN led inquiry into her death
