Musharraf gets bail in BB murder caseRAWALPINDI: A court on Monday granted bail to former military ruler Pervez Musharraf over the murder of Benazir Bhutto, an official said, but the retired general remains under house arrest. “General [retired] Musharraf’s bail has been confirmed” by an anti-terrorism court in the garrison town of Rawalpindi, court official Mohammad Aslam Joya told AFP. Judge Habibur Rehman has ordered Musharraf to pay two bonds worth Rs 1 million each, he added. During arguments, Barrister Salman Safdar pleaded that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has no authority to investigate the case, as its jurisdiction is to probe matters relating to cyber crimes and financial embezzlements. He said Musharraf has been wrongly implicated in the case, as he has nothing to do with the murder of Benazir Bhutto. agencies
