Musharraf ordered to appear in court for Bugti murder trial

Jamil Akbar Bugti, the son of Akbar Bugti, had named Musharraf, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and other high-ups in the murder of his father.

The Balochistan High Court has already issued arrest warrants for the accused persons.

Bugti was killed in a cave on August 26, 2006, during a military crackdown ordered by Musharraf who was the president and army chief at the time.

Bugti had led an armed campaign to press for provincial autonomy and a greater share of profits in Balochistan's natural resources.

The death of the Baloch chieftain sparked angry protests in the country.
