Post by: Chris_ on August 19, 2013, 11:09:41 PM

Pakistan's ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf was indicted on three counts on Tuesday over the 2007 murder of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto in a gun and suicide attack, a prosecutor said.

It was the second time that Musharraf, who ruled the nuclear-armed state from 1999-2008, had been summoned to face charges of criminal conspiracy and the murder of Bhutto in December 2007.

I would be shocked if he was behind it.  I liked Pervez Musharraf.

The consummate politician. Played both ends against the middle superbly. He was in the difficult position of placating and kowtowing to his muzzie/islamist base while pretending to be an ally of the U.S.

Why he hasn't been assassinated by now is one of those great mysteries. He certainly was a target for a very long time.
