Pakistan ex-head Musharraf charged in Bhutto death
An anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, has indicted former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf and six others in the 2007 death of Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, according to the country's government-run radio station, Radio Pakistan.
No one could be reached at the Pakistani embassy in Washington. Musharraf denied the charges after they were read to him, according to the government station. A hearing will take place in the case on Aug. 27. Musharraf has asked not to have to appear in person before the court and a judge has reserved judgment on the request, according to the radio organization.
