Rawalpindi, Mar 19(ANI): An Anti-Terrorist Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to produce former President Pervez Musharraf in court during the Benazir Bhutto assassination case’s hearing on March 26.
According to the Dawn, ATC-III Special Judge Rana Nisar Ahmed ordered this during a hearing of the case today.
During the hearing, special public prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali told the court that Musharraf’s arrest warrant had been handed over to UK authorities.
The warrant was sent to Pakistan’s High Commission in London, which forwarded it to the UK Foreign Affairs Department.
Musharraf, who has been accused of not providing adequate security to former Prime Minister Benazir, is reportedly in Dubai these days.
He was Pakistan’s President when Benazir was targeted in a gun and bomb attack as she was leaving Liaqat Bagh in Rawalpindi after addressing a public rally on December 27, 2007.
Musharraf’s spokesman has repeatedly said that the former military ruler will not be going back to Pakistan for any court hearing.
Musharraf is alleged to have been part of a “broad conspiracy” to have his political rival Benazir killed before elections, though the exact nature of the charges against him is not clear. (ANI)
