Musharraf – who has been nominated in multiple criminal cases – is being held at his Chak Shahzad farmhouse, which was declared a sub-jail on April 20.
Information gathered by the intelligence agencies pointed at a possible attack by militants belonging to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan.
In the light of these recent threats, security agencies have issued warnings to all the relevant departments.
According to the alert, the attackers might disguise themselves as security officers.
TTP had earlier issued threats to assassinate the former dictator, calling him "Satan." Musharraf went to the top of the Taliban hit list after ordering the army in 2007 to storm Lal Masjid in Islamabad. The operation left more than 100 people dead and opened the floodgates to attacks in Pakistan.
He had escaped three assassination attempts when in office from 1999 to 2008, a target of extremists because of his alliance in the US-led “war on terror” and attempts to clamp down on militants.

@Sandip:Anti mush people believe in the propaganda fed by pmln, ppp etc in the last 5 years.Foreign fighters who were on the run from Afghanistan we're caught and captured in Pakistan were offered to their countries of origin, When they refused to take them back,that's when they were handed over to the Americans, anti Musharraf elements have turned the foreign fighters into Pakistanis over the years.
Musharaf is the only leader in Pakistan who knows how to eradicate to TTP and ssp.
@Bhai log Why Nawaz Sharif would be held responsible in case something happened to Musharaf? Its his juniors duty to protect him from these beasts. The same juniors, who sent commandoes to save Musharaf's job. When his life is in danger, they are expecting others to save him.
TTP, SSP plan to attack Musharraf's farmhouse: Security agencies. So to fulfill his basic rights, he should immediately be sent outside the country. I insist, send him to Syria. If possible, send him to moon (and then push him over hahahah)
Time will prove what Musharaf has done to his country.
@immortal_soloist: Your honest, patriotic leader was selling people to the highest bidder when he was in power. It's your good luck that fate didn't befall you. Else your family would have been singing a different tune today.
May Allah Protect our great ex-leader. All the critics out here; well you have your wish. The 'dictator' who fought these militants is in custody, the 'democrats' who want 'negotiations' are in power; now enjoy life in Pakistan with Taliban.
don't worry about Musharraf because there is no as such difference between he and militant. so let militant kill another militant.
This diversionary tatic to send Mushiee back to UK
That farm house was just made for watching mujrah, what TTP or SSP have in mind?
When it comes to protecting one of their own, the "agencies" seem to be pretty well-informed. How come they look the other way when innocent citizens are targeted?
How is farm house more secure than a prison ? please explain.
This looks like a leaked/fabricated news by pro-Musharraf agents.
Nothing prove against Musharraf. CJ needs to be evacuat him as soon as possible!
In that case it makes more sense to transfer him to a high security prison where he will be safer, rather than keep him at his farmhouse.
Pervez Musharraf is a great man.
May his enemies suffer the worst punishments.
Musharraf is an honest,patriotic and true leader.
Gonna have to support lesser of the two evils here. Hope security shoots down all terrorists.
He should be treated like other prisoners and transferred to proper jail for his safety.
@Secular Pakistani: And he didn't add anything in National Grid...He enjoyed the free lunch on BB and NS's energy policies and we are reaping the rewards of his's.
Responsibility of ex-dictators security should be given to KPK government
PMLN is the handler of SSP.
I wish Mr. Musharraf you would have crushed the head of this snake rather then using it to scare others. You missed the golden chance and now same beast is after you.
CJ suo moto is needed.
Time for Mr Musharraf to his "nehar wali Haveli" in Delhi. Much safer than the safest place in Pakistan.
Let him go out of the country where he will be safe.
Considering how easily the TTP ran over the DI Khan jail, compared to that a farmhouse should be a walk in the park.
All those who are target of TTP are friends of Pakistan including Musharraf, PPP, MQM and ANP. This a litmus test.
The decision taken by Musharraf to storm Lal Masjid was correct.
@Bhai log: that is the law of land , isnt it in the case of benezir so well said
@Pakistani: Do you know the definition of Dictator?
Even then , they attached and we are like "ooh poor Musharraf " its a God Will"
TTP SSP my humble request to you is please please let the due process of law take place
Grounds being prepared to send him out of the country.
My Allah protect you sir!
Negotiations should begin immediately to thwart any such attack!
@Pakistani: At least we had electricity under the so called dictatorship. Thankless nation..
TTP and SSP can not attack any place without the prior knowledge and planning of their handlers..... (I am not mentioning the handlers because ET will not publish my comments otherwise)
If any thing happens to Mr. Musharaff, Nawaz Sharif will be responsible.
May Allah protect him from these beasts
Long live dictator
Allah safe pres Mushraff from anyone who attempt to harm to him.
The intelligence report is out and going by the experience, nothing will be done about it! Shame!!!!
