A Pakistani anti-terrorism court has issued an arrest warrant for former military ruler Pervez Musharraf over the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto in 2007. Prosecutors say he was aware of Taliban plans to target her but did not act to prevent her murder in Rawalpindi. They accuse him of failing to provide adequate security for the former PM.Ms Bhutto was killed while travelling in an election motorcade in the city of Rawalpindi in December 2007.On Saturday, prosecutors at the anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi said that any further progress in investigating Mrs. Bhutto's assassination was not possible without Mr. Musharraf's presence. Mr Musharraf seized power in 1999 when, as chief of Pakistan's army, he ousted elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a coup. He resigned as president in 2008.(From BBC News)
