An anti-terrorism court judge in Pakistan has issued an arrest warrant for Pervez Musharraf, the country’s former military ruler, in connection with the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto, officials say.
Bhutto, a former prime minister and leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), was killed in December 2007 in a gun-and-suicide-bomb blast during a rally, just weeks after returning to Pakistan to campaign in new elections.
Many of her supporters accuse Musharraf of not doing enough to ensure her protection.
