Former Pakistan dictator Musharraf granted bail

None

Pakistan's former military dictator, Pervez Musharraf, was granted bail on Monday in a case related to the killing of a cleric, taking him a step closer to freedom after months under house arrest and legal wrangling over his fate.

 

Musharraf has been embroiled in a web of legal cases after returning to Pakistan in March from self-imposed exile to contest a May election. His arrest was unprecedented in a country where the army wields enormous power. (Reuters)
