Islamabad, Jun 19 (PTI) Pakistan is set to appoint a new commission to ascertain "full facts" about Osama bin Laden's presence in the country and probe the unilateral US raid that killed the al-Qaeda chief, as a panel constituted previously courted controversy even before it could begin its work.
Law Minister Maula Bakhsh Chandio said a new commission will soon be set to start the investigation. "Consultations are under way for the new panel," he told Dawn News channel last evening.
A previous panel appointed by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in late May faced controversy even before it could become operational, with the head of the commission and a member dropping out on the grounds that the government had not conducted consultations before naming them.
