Court declares Musharraf fugitive in Bhutto’s assassination case

‘Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has been declared a fugitive from justice in the 2007 assassination of the country’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
An anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi made the ruling on Thursday, four years after the former general was indicted on charges of murder, criminal conspiracy to murder and facilitation of murder.
Back then, the case was delayed due to Musharraf’s health complications. The former president left the country in 2016 to seek treatment and has been living in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, ever since.
As the country’s chief executive during Bhutto’s assassination, Musharraf has long been suspected of playing a role in the bomb and gun attack that killed the former PM and dozens of people who had attended one of her campaigning events.’
