Islamabad: Seven accused including Musharraf have been indicted on August 20, 2013.

Musharraf, who ruled the country from 1999-2008, had been summoned to face charges of criminal conspiracy and the murder of Benazir in December 2007. Charging a former army chief would be an unprecedented move in a country ruled for more than half of its life by the military.  Musharraf, who has been under house arrest at his plush villa on the edge of the capital Islamabad since April 19, had appeared before the court in person on July 30.

Benazir Bhutto, twice elected prime minister of Pakistan, was assassinated in a gun and bomb attack in December 2007 after campaigning in the garrison city of Rawalpindi. There was no public claim of responsibility for her murder.

Musharraf’s government blamed her assassination on the then Pakistani Taliban chief  Baitullah Mehsud, who denied any involvement. He was killed in a US drone attack in 2009.
