                     Musharraf Ordered Detained for 14 Days

   by VOA News

   A Pakistani court on Friday ordered former president Pervez Musharraf
   to be detained for 14 days for the 2007 commando operation against a
   militant mosque.
   The order was made hours after the court rejected a petition seeking to
   put the former president on the Exit Control List, which would prevent
   him from leaving the country.
   Pakistan arrested Musharraf Thursday, a day after he was granted bail
   in the last major case against him, raising the possibility he could
   leave the country.
   In the latest charge, Musharraf is accused of ordering a raid against
   an Islamabad mosque in 2007 to crack down on armed militants. The
   operation left a cleric and dozens of other people dead.
   A complaint against Musharraf in the so-called Red Mosque case was
   registered two weeks ago on the orders of a judge.
   The arrest came after the former president had been granted bail in
   three other cases and his lawyer said he was free to leave the country.
   Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup and later ruled as president until
   resigning under threat of impeachment by his opponents in 2008. He then
   went into exile.
   He returned to Pakistan in March in a bid to resurrect his political
   career.
