A Pakistani court has charged former Pakistani president and army chief Pervez Musharraf over the 2007 assassination of a former prime minister. Benazir Bhutto was killed in 2007 during a rally in the city of Rawalpindi. Prosecutor Chaudry Muhammed Azhar said the charges include murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder. Afsha Adil, a member of Musharraf’s legal team, said he pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors have said Musharraf, who was president at the time, failed properly to protect her. Musharraf has faced a litany of charges relating to his rule since returning to the country in March from self-imposed exile.
