Arrest warrant against Musharraf in murder case

ISLAMABAD: A non-bailable warrant was issued against former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf on Saturday in connection with the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi, who was killed in a military crackdown in 2007.
A local court in Islamabad issued the order and directed the authorities to produce Musharraf before it on March 16.
The court also rejected Musharraf’s plea seeking permanent exemption from appearing in the case and issued the warrants.
His counsel said they would challenge the order, Geo News reported.
The 72-year-old former president has never appeared before the court during the previous 55 hearings. This is the fourth non-bailable arrest warrant against Musharraf in the case.
