Musharraf Calls on Scotland Yard

Bowing to international pressure and attempting to quell domestic unrest, President Musharraf requested assistance with the Bhutto killing from Britain’s Scotland Yard. In a nationally televised address, Musharraf explained,

“We have decided to request a team from Scotland Yard,” … “This team will work on the case and solve all the issues.”

Smart move? If this is a sincere pursuit of the truth, certainly, but I don’t think Musharraf is really interested in the truth. Musharraf said Scotland Yard would “assist” local investigators. I have a feeling this means limited access to information and witnesses for the British Team. Of course, Musharraf doesn’t need Scotland Yard returning home and announcing a lack of cooperation from the Pakistani administration.

It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out.
