Pakistan's former military ruler makes brief court appearance and denies involvement in assassination of ex-PM.
A court in Pakistan has formally indicted Pervez Musharraf over the murder of Benazir Bhutto in 2007.
"He should be tried," the public prosecutor, Mohammad Azhar, told reporters after a brief hearing in the city of Rawalpindi during which the three charges of murder, conspiracy to murder and facilitation of murder were
read out to Musharraf.
The indictment of the army chief who seized power in a 1999 coup is an unprecedented event shattering an unwritten rule that Pakistan top generals are untouchable. Under the prime ministership of Nawaz Sharif the country has been trying to shake off the legacy of decades of military rule.
