Interior Minister Bauyrzhan Mukhamedzhanov told Khabar on 16 February that Kazakhstan is arranging for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to take part in the investigation of opposition leader Altynbek Sarsenbaev\'s killing. Mukhamedzhanov said that FBI involvement is intended \"to rule out all manner of speculation about the motives for the murder and to make the investigation as transparent as possible.\" He also noted that the investigation has already determined that Sarsenbaev, his driver, and bodyguard were all killed by shots from a single gun. Five bullets and a number of other pieces of evidence were recovered from the crime scene. (RFE/RL)
