ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former
military ruler Pervez Musharraf was rushed to hospital on Thursday after
suffering a "heart problem" on his way to court for a hearing in his
trial for treason, police and an aide said.
The 70-year-old had been summoned
to the special tribunal after failing to show up for two previous sessions due
to security threats against him. Jan Mohammad, a senior police
official told the court in Islamabad that Musharraf had fallen ill while being
transported to the hearing under heavy security.
"He has been shifted to
Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology after he got heart problem," Mohammad
said.
An aide to Musharraf, who is
facing a series of criminal cases dating back to his 1999-2008 rule, told AFP
the retired general was in "bad shape".
