An inquiry into the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is being conducted by a three-member team from the UN.
The team arrived in Pakistan earlier today to begin their work.
The world body's Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon established the commission at the request of the coalition government, led by Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party.
The work by the commission is scheduled for completion in six months.
It'll then submit its report to the the Secretary General by the end of December.
The findings will be shared with the Pakistan government and the UN Security Council.
There are several conspiracy theories concerning the suicide gun-and-bomb attack that killed Bhutto in December 2007.
Allies of former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf pointed a finger of blame at Pakistani Taliban commander and al-Qaeda associate Baitullah Mehsud.
The CIA also indicated Mehsud was a prime suspect.
A theory has also surfaced that allies of Musharraf plotted against her because they did not want her in power.
