At least some Justice is happening in Pakistan

Pakistani ex-President Pervez Musharraf has been indicted on three charges over the 2007 assassination of opposition leader and former PM Benazir Bhutto.

Prosecutors said he was charged with murder, criminal conspiracy to murder and facilitation of murder.

Mr Musharraf made no public remarks at the hearing but denies the charges. The case was adjourned until 27 August.

Mrs Bhutto was killed at an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi in December 2007.

Mr Musharraf, who returned to Pakistan from self-imposed exile earlier this year, is currently under house arrest.

But he appeared in court in Rawalpindi amid tight security. Six others were indicted along with Mr Musharraf, including four suspected militants and two senior police officials. The court set the next hearing for 27 August.
