Scotland Yard to Aid Probe of Bhutto Death

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf calls on Britain's Scotland Yard to aid an investigation into the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. Bhutto was killed Dec. 27, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, after a political rally. Musharraf's request defers to demands by opposition officials.
