A UN investigative report on the 2007 assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has severely criticised the government headed by then-president Pervez Musharraf for failing to protect her despite publicly known threats.

Bhutto, twice a prime minister, died in a gun and bomb attack on December 27, 2007, when she appeared at an election rally in the garrison town of Rawalpindi outside Islamabad.
