Pakistan then requested a UN probe into the assassination and this is currently underway.

A UN team had Aug 24 visited the Rawalpindi hospital where Bhutto was rushed after the fatal attack to collect details about her wounds and treatment.

The UN officials interacted with the staff of the Benazir Shaheed Hospital for more than two hours.

Hospital doctor Musaddaq Hussain told the UN team that Bhutto's autopsy was not conducted on the request of her husband Asif Ali Zardari, who is now the president of Pakistan.

The team also visited the operation theatre, the treatment room and the site where the doctors formally announced her death.

The team earlier visited the site where she was attacked.

The seven-member UN team started its probe July 1 and will submit a report to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon after completing the investigation. Ban will then share the report with the Pakistani government and the Security Council.
