Investigators quiz Musharraf over Bhutto assassinationNovember 18, 2009 -- Updated 1143 GMT (1943 HKT)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A United Nations commission investigating the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said Tuesday that it met with Pervez Musharraf, the military ruler who was in power at the time.

"The Commission of Inquiry had a frank, open and cordial conversation with former President Musharraf, having been able to pose to him many queries on issues central to its mandate," the group said in a statement.

The statement did not say where the team met with Musharraf.

His spokesman, Nasim Ashraf, told Pakistan's English-language newspaper, Dawn, that the meeting took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 27.

"While I met the team, I strongly oppose any international probe into Pakistan's domestic affairs," Musharraf said in a statement, carried by Dawn.

The U.N. commission arrived in Pakistan in July to look into the circumstances surrounding the assassination of Bhutto.

On Monday, Al Jazeera reported that a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban said the group accepted responsibility for only some of the recent suicide bombings in Pakistan, laying the blame for others, including a deadly attack on a market last month that killed more than 100 civilians, on the American security firm formerly known as Blackwater.
