                Explosives Prevent Musharraf's Court Appearance

   by VOA News

   Former Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf has once again missed a day in
   court because of threats to his security.
   Police said Wednesday they defused an improvised bomb near the road
   Musharraf would have taken to court. His legal team said the bomb was
   the reason he did not appear in court Wednesday.
   Musharraf is being tried over his imposition of emergency rule in 2007,
   a year before he resigned from office.
   Explosives were also found along the route from Musharraf's home on
   December 24, when he was first scheduled to appear in court.
   Musharraf faces several other criminal cases dating to his 1999-2008
   rule, including one related to the assassination of former prime
   minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007. He had been granted bail in all cases
   against him since his return to Pakistan earlier this year.
   Musharraf will be the first military ruler tried for treason in the
   country, which has experienced three military coups in its 66-year
   history.
