| A bomb apparently directed at Pervez Musharraf, the former Pakistani military ruler, went off early Thursday, minutes after his convoy had passed a traffic intersection in Islamabad, the capital, police officials said. The bomb went off as Mr. Musharraf was secretly being shifted from a military hospital in neighboring Rawalpindi to his farmhouse on the outskirts of Islamabad. Earlier this week, Mr. Musharraf was formally indicted in the treason trial, an unprecedented development in the countryà ??s history. No military ruler has ever been tried on treason charges or on other counts of abuse of power. |
