Musharraf indicted over Bhutto murder case
A court has formally indicted former Pakistani president and army chief Pervez Musharraf over the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto, the public prosecutor said.
Prosecutor Chaudry Muhammed Azhar said the charges include murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder.
Prosecutors claim Musharraf, who was president at the time, failed to properly protect her when she was killed during a rally in the city of Rawalpindi in 2007.
Afsha Adil, a member of Musharraf's legal team, said Musharraf pleaded not guilty.
