Islamabad: An
Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Pakistan Wednesday issued non-bailable
arrest warrants for former president Pervez Musharraf and former
prime minister Shaukat Aziz in the assassination case of
Balochistan leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, Xinhua reported.
Bugti, a Baluch tribal leader, was killed Aug 26, 2006 during a
military operation in Baluchistan province when Musharraf was
ruling the country.
His family had registered cases against the former president, then
prime minister as well as then interior minister Aftab Ahmad Khan
Sherpao, then Balochistan governor Owais Ahmad Ghani and several
other government officials.
The court in Sibi district in Balochistan province, while issuing
arrest warrants, has ordered all the accused to appear Sep 5.
Another court has already issued an arrest warrant for Musharraf
in connection with the 2007 tragic assassination of former prime
minister Benazir Bhutto. She was killed in a suicide blast and
firing in the garrison city of Rawalpindi. Musharraf has denied
any involvement in her killing.
Having ruled Pakistan between 1999 and 2008, Musharraf has been
living in self-exile since his resignation as president in August
2008 on facing parliamentary impeachment over a variety of
charges.
He has also launched his own political party, the All Pakistan
Muslim League, and is believed to be returning to the country for
the parliamentary elections due early next year.
