Bomb blast on route used by Pakistan's former President Musharraf

(3 Apr 2014) A bomb struck along a route used by Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf, going off shortly after he drove by it on his way home from the hospital, a police official and the former ruler's spokeswoman said on Thursday. The blast ripped up a small section of the brick sidewalk. Police initially cordoned off the area to gather evidence but later removed the tape and traffic passed freely. Musharraf was not harmed in the explosion and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing. The Pakistani general survived multiple assassination attempts while he was in office. When he returned to the country last year, the Pakistani Taliban vowed to kill him.
