Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf was today named as an accused in assassination of ex-premier Benazir Bhutto. He was named in an interim charge sheet filed by prosecutors in an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi conducting the trial of suspects charged with involvement in the murder. Musharraf has been living in self-exile in Britain since early 2009. The state TV reported but there was no official word on the development. A report by a UN commission that probed the Bhutto assassination had blamed Musharraf for failing to take adequate steps to provide security to former premier. Bhutto was killed by a suicide attacker in Rawalpindi in December 2007 during an election rally in Rawalpindi. Musharraf was then President of Pakistan.
