FIA compiles evidence for Musharraf's arrest through Interpol
The file is expected to be sent to the Interpol Headquarters next week.
Interpol had earlier refused to arrest and hand Musharraf over to Pakistan, citing a lack of evidence against him in the case.
The contents of the file include the FIR lodged in the case, statements of former DG IB Brig (retd) Aijaz Shah, former interior ministry spokesperson Brig (retd) Javed Iqbal Cheema and police officers against Musharraf, copies of US journalist Mark Segal’s statement and the court’s verdict which terms Musharraf an offender and a fugitive.
In the event that Interpol still refuses to arrest Musharraf, the FIA joint investigation team will start proceedings in his absence.
The senior prosecutor in the case, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali told Roznama Express that according to the Anti-terrorism Act Section 11 (L), proceedings can be initiated against an escaped convict despite his absence, and that a plea would be filed in court in this regard.
The original story was published in Roznama Express on November 18, 2012.

@AnisAqeel: By training Commondos never face the enemy frontally. They always surprise the enemy and hit at time and place of his own choosing The best timings would be beyond 2014 when they all will be levelled.
Sad to see u are still in Pakistan (sir Gee)@Hasan:
Sad to see the lowest point this government could go.
@AnisAqeel: Face the consequences from the non credible incompetent corrupt to the core joke of a politicians,know were your thoughts come from.
The will is lacking...........as such nothing will happen, 4 years already gone.
If you had any real intention of bring Musharraf back for justice you would negotiate an extradition treaty with the UK - of course that would mean that the UK could demand you turn over some Pakistani's and would also mean that leaders could no longer use the UK as a "safe haven".
The commando should be brave and face the consequences and not being a 'bhagohora'. If his ideology is Pakistan First then let it be first and not run away overseas to escape.
no one believes in the objectivity of FIA.. PPP just ensuring that one of its threats are kept away.. using government organs as political tools... only in pak.
