Islamabad, Mar 7(ANI): Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has reportedly sent the non-bailable arrest warrant against former President Pervez Musharraf to the Pakistan High Commission in London.
An Anti-Terrorism Court in Pakistan had issued the warrant against the former military ruler for the third time in connection with former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination.
According to the Dawn, the FIA took the step to abide by the court orders, which said that that the warrant should be delivered to Musharraf's residence in the United Kingdom.
In case of non-arrest, the former dictator could be declared absconding offender by the court and his properties in Pakistan would be confiscated.
Musharraf was Pakistan's President when Benazir was targeted in a gun and bomb attack as she was leaving Liaqat Bagh in Rawalpindi after addressing a public rally on December 27, 2007.
The court had earlier issued warrants for Musharraf's arrest on February 12 and again on February 19.
Musharraf's spokesman has repeatedly said that the former military ruler will not be going back to Pakistan for any court hearing.
Musharraf is alleged to have been part of a "broad conspiracy" to have his political rival Benazir killed before elections, though the exact nature of the charges against him is not clear. (ANI)
