Explosives found near Musharraf’s house

Video footage showed a bomb disposal squad examining a car near the farmhouse on the edge of the capital Islamabad where the former army chief was detained last week over allegations he had overstepped his powers while in office.

There was no immediate word from police on who they suspected might have planted the explosives.
Pakistan’s Taliban movement have threatened to kill Musharraf, who returned from almost four years of self-imposed exile last month in the hope of re-launching his political career at general elections on May 11.

Instead, election officials disqualified him from running and judges ordered he be placed under house arrest to face a hearing next month over allegations he                    lawfully ordered the detention of judges in 2007 when he was still in office. — Reuters
