The Pakistan government will not order a new probe into former premier Benazir Bhutto's assassination and await a court's decision on the issue, according to a media report today.

"We will wait for the court decision and then evolve a future line of action," Information Minister Pervez Rashid said. "Since the matter is in court, we cannot initiate a separate investigation," he said when asked about Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's statement before the May polls that his PML-N party would expose Bhutto's killers if it came to power.

Four investigations have already been carried out and the case is being by an anti-terrorism court. "Let us see what the court decides on the investigation reports already submitted to it," Rashid told the Dawn newspaper.
