New murder charges have been registered against Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, officials say.

Mr Musharraf, who is currently under house arrest, already faces murder charges over the deaths of Benazir Bhutto and a Baloch tribal leader.

He also faces charges over his attempt to sack Pakistan's higher judiciary in 2007 and the government has said it will try him for treason.

Read this interesting post from a few years ago that discusses this gentleman's book that went in to more detail on the exploration of who assassinated Benazir Bhutto. Note all of the other related incidents and other suspicious deaths that happened about the same time. Haven't had time to read the full summary yet, but there's enough to show that the guy suspected a very high level plot behind the assassination, which would fit perhaps that being Musharraf behind it, though the article describes Shakeel Anjum accounts as having a lot of "conspiracy theories" a part of his analysis.
