Funeral held for Pakistan ex-president Musharraf
Feb 08, 2023
Karachi [Pakistan], February 8: Pakistan's divisive former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was buried on Tuesday in a muted funeral that was never officially announced. The country's serving army chief, the prime minister and the president all stayed away from the event, with media blocked from covering it and local television not airing the service. Musharraf, who became a key US ally during Washington's "war on terror" after the September 11 attacks, died exiled in Dubai on Sunday aged 79, having suffered a long illness.
