Benazir was informed about life threats: Musharraf

Dubai: (Tuesday, February 21, 2012) Former President and chief of the army staff, General ® Pervez Musharraf said today that he had telephoned former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto to inform her of the possible life threats that
she faced.

Trying to clear his position, Musharraf said, “Benazir did not consider me to be a threat.”

He further said that it was the responsibility of the provincial government to provide appropriate security to the former prime minister who had clear threats to her life. He also noted that BB’s principal security was being handled
by the PPP workers.

Musharraf also raised the question about who suggested Benazir Bhutto to come out of the sun roof of the jeep she was travelling in prior to her assassination.

Former president said that although he had met BB twice in Dubai, but had not spoken to her since October 18.

He also highlighted that “Rehman Malik was not present during these meetings.” Responding to a question about his return to Pakistan, Musharraf said he was willing to face the courts.
