                               Pakistan: Musharraf charged with Benazir Bhutto's murder

Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf has been indicted in the assassination case of former premier Benazir Bhutto, said the prosecutor. Bhutto was assassinated soon after an election rally in Rawalpindi in December 2007. Musharraf, the then president, blamed her
killing on Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, who denied any involvement. Mehsud was killed in a US drone attack in 2009. But Bhutto's son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is Pakistan Peoples Party chairman, has accused Musharraf of her murder.
In 2010, a UN report said Bhutto's death could have been prevented and accused Musharraf's government of failing to give her adequate protection
