Troops 'tried to kill Musharraf'
President Pervez Musharraf says junior army and air force personnel were involved in assassination attempts on him last December.

General Musharraf said that several military servicemen had been arrested and would soon be tried.

The president said that those involved held "junior ranks."

General Musharraf survived two attempts on his life in December. Observers questioned how the attackers could have known his travel plans.

...

President Musharraf made his comments in an interview with the private Pakistani channel Geo that is due to be broadcast on Thursday.

1. Musharraf almost tastes his own medicine
I thought this guy supports coup d'etats over elections. They should be throwing a party instead of a trial. When will Bush speak out against no elections Pakistan thanks to Musharraf and his military?

2. here's what the evil idiot had to say
on November 3, 1999 regarding Musharraf:

Bush: "The new Pakistani general, he's just been elected, not elected, this guy took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the sub-continent."
