Pervez Musharraf arrest news | Pakistan court issued arrest warrant for Musharraf
Pakistani officials say an anti-terrorism court has issued an arrest warrant for former President Pervez Musharraf in connection with the assassination of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Authorities say Judge Rana Nisar Ahmad issued the warrant Saturday, ordering Mr. Musharraf to appear in court on February 19.
Mr. Musharraf has been in exile in London for more than two years.
Ms. Bhutto was assassinated in a gun and suicide bomb attack on December 27, 2007, while campaigning in the city of Rawalpindi. Ms. Bhutto was running as leader of the opposition Pakistan People’s Party in national elections.
Her widower, Ali Zardari, led the Pakistan People’s Party to victory, and is now president.
