Pak sends fresh letter to Interpol for Musharraf's arrest
December 14, 2012

Pakistan has sent a second letter to Interpol asking it to arrest former President Pervez Musharraf, who had been declared a fugitive by an anti-terrorism court for failing to cooperate with investigators probing the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto.        

 

The Federal Investigation Agency, which is probing the assassination, attached arrest warrants for Musharraf and some pieces of evidence to the letter, which was sent to Interpol yesterday.        

 

The Interpol office in France had earlier returned a similar request by the FIA as no evidence against Musharraf had been provided. The evidence sent with the letter yesterday includes a statement by US Journalist Mark Siegel and records of emails sent by Musharraf to former premier Bhutto, the website of The Express Tribune reported.        

 

FIA Special Prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali confirmed that the letter had been despatched.
