ISLAMABAD (AFP) - A Scotland Yard team that arrived in Pakistan on Friday to help investigate the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto will fail to shed any light on the murder, her party said.

He said the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would not cooperate with any investigation other than one held under the auspices of the United Nations, such as the UN-led probe into the assassination of Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri in 2005.

"We reject it, we will not join it," Naik said.

"An international investigation commission should be set up, appointed by the UN and answerable to the UN and nobody else."

The government has already ruled out any UN-led inquiry into the assassination of Bhutto at an election campaign rally in Rawalpindi on December 27.

1. While I think the UN is involved. I think Scotland Yard is pretty good.

2. Britain is too closely aligned with the U.S.

And the U.S. is too closely aligned with Mushy.

Bhutto's party is right to reject Scotland Yard.
