Musharraf promises to comply with British police

British detectives investigating the assassination of Benazir Bhutto will not be hindered by government restrictions, President Pervez Musharraf promised today.

The move appeared to be a softening of the government’s position on the probe. Last week Mr Musharraf said the Scotland Yard squad would not be allowed to go on a “wild goose chase” into claims the government was behind Ms Bhutto’s killing.
