KARACHI: The Interior Ministry is sending Federal Investigation Agency officials to London to probe the allegation of the involvement of Pakistani cricketers in spot-fixing in the fourth cricket Test match against England at Lords.

The three-member delegation would fly to London immediately as the government had taken serious notice of the latest fixing scandal to involve Pakistan team, Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters.

"The FIA delegation will be headed by an additional director and they will not only assist but also carry out their own inquiries into the allegations made against our players," Malik said.

He pointed out that the government wanted to know the truth about the allegations against the players through its own investigating agency.

"The Scotland Yard is doing its own investigations, our team is there to assist them and also independently find out what has happened," Malik said.
