**ISLAMABAD: **The Interpol headquarters rejected Pakistan’s request to issue a red warrant against former president and army chief Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case, DawnNews reported on Wednesday.
The Interpol rejected the request on the grounds that Pakistani authorities and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)** had sent insufficient documentation for the purpose of issuing a red warrant**.
According to a statement issued by the Interpol,** it could not issue red warrant based on the the evidences and documentation **presented for the arrest of the former president.
Local authorities have again sent a request to the Interpol director with documentation in addition to the investigation reports, copies of statements by then director-general of ISI’s counter-intelligence wing Javed Iqbal Cheema and the former director general of Intelligence Bureau, Ejaz Shah, US-based journalist Marc Siegel’s email to Benazir Bhutto and copies of the orders issued by the anti-terrorism court.
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
Uk trying to protect him.
if he thinks he is innocent and is not involved in Benazir and Bugti murder case.. then why dont you come down here and present yourself before the court?
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
Making someone responsible for something is not difficult. For example, someone could make me responsible for global warming.
If he is responsible for Benazir's death then he is also responsible for several attacks against himself. In fact using such logic, Benazir was responsible for her own death. If she knew that assassins are after her then she should not have stopped in the middle of a mob in the first place.
Everyone likes to put blame of her death on their hated person. Besides most of us here calling Musharraf responsible for her death, there are significant number of people who call Zardari responsible for her death.
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
This Why is answered in the article itself.
“It is thought the decision to give Musharraf the costly protection service was taken because of fears that any attempt on his life could lead to injury for innocent civilians if he is targeted in public.”
That’s right. There is not enough documentation for it. And this makes all these blames political.
Political victimization is nothing new Pak politics. Musharraf did this against his opponents when he was in power and now he is getting the complements returned in the form of such accusations.
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
Khoji don't let your rose tinted glasses blind you from reality. I won't accuse you of global warming but i will accuse you of being biased and just posting stupidity to defend someone. And by your logic, you are responsible for your own stupidity in the posts even though its my statement.
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
Biased about WHAT? صاف کہتے بھی نہیں، سامنے آتے بھی نہیں۔
You are posting articles without fully understanding what they are about. Now THIS is bias.
I criticize Musharraf for not taking actions against Taliban fanatics.
But here it is obvious that Musharraf is a victim of revengeful politics. For God's sake, Benazir had finished the jalsa safely. She was shot when she stopped right in in the middle of a mob by her own accord, and decided to come out of her vehicle.
And yet you guys find a way to throw the blame on Musharraf's shoulders?
If this is how Musharraf is responsible for her death then you and me are responsible for global warming as well.

I think you might need glasses even if they are rose tinted. Did musharraf deal with the suicide bombers himself? There would have been middle men, military and civilian, who most probably are still in Pakistan. Let's get them first and establish the fact that musharraf gave the orders.
It is very easy to put all blame on the guy who has already left. So easy in Pakistan. I see no motive or benifit for musharraf to get rid of her. She had already made a deal with him.
God, there is no objectivity in Pakistan. And hardly ever any in CM's posts who has taken on himself to be the chief patriot of pakistan though his compatriots would merrily declare him wajib-ul-qatal for serving the kuffar.
That calls for international norms. However national norms have been in place for decades. A government is responsible for the well being of its people. Even Chacha would agree with it unless he for some reason doesn’t think its the governments responsibility to protect Ahmadies. But who knows. People here rather support their political party instead of reality.
And the UN is also responsible for revenge politics now? Well done on the blinders.
I have a simple question for you two. If Interpol issues a red warrant after more information is provided, would you then agree it is in fact valid? The reason I ask is I want to know if you trust gorays more like good colonial stooges more than your own court system?
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
The first wikipedia article is totally irrelevant since it is talking about the responsibility of the state to protect its citizens against mass atrocities.
The government is indeed responsible for protecting its citizens but it not responsible for protecting their stupidity. That woman wasn’t shot in the jalsa and everyone else in the car survived. Now if she decides to put herself at extra risk, government can’t protect her. Remember Musharraf himself was attacked many times.
Since you have brought Ahmadis in, the government has done a fabulous job of protecting Ahamdis and I’m sure many heads of government have been charged everytime they have failed to protect Ahamdis. :rolleyes:
The UN bases its assessment on the information provided by the government.
I have way more trust in goray courts than our joke of a court system where they first look at my colour, race, ethnicity, religion and then decide what to do about my case. If I am wronged by a gora and I take him to court, I am confident that I will get justice. Can’t say the same about a Pakistani court.
Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
If this is how you think Musharraf is responsible for her death then like I said earlier, you and me are responsible for global warming. And had Musharraf died in several attempts made on his life, he would have been responsible for his own death too!
About your question, I would not care about red warrant being issued or not because I wouldn't Know how true that information would be. Although I doubt more information could be provided because just as your last post suggested, Musharraf may only be held responsible through some general claim which makes a ruler responsible for everything that happens during his rule.
BTW, do you know that issuing a red warrant does not mean automatic extradition? And do you know that UK has already rejected Pakistan's earlier request for extradition, citing no extradition treaty between the two countries?
Better ask Hafiz Saeed to send some people to London this time rather than Mumbai.

Re: Interpol refuses to issue red warrant against Musharraf
I dont know how PPP followers are even falling for this rubbish, not that I like Musharraf, but while Rehman Malik is asking Interpol to issue red warrants for his role in BBs murder, rest of Musharraf's team has transitioned from 'Q for Qatil' to 'Q for Qabool hai'....so much so that they gave them the vice premiership.
Benazir was irresponsible, not just for her own sake, but for the sake of her party members as well...both during the Karsaz blast, and the Liaquat bagh blast. She put her own life at risk, as well as the lives of all her party workers. But then again, they are just petty workers in the eyes of these feudals.
Musharraf had clearly advised Benazir not to do these rallies, as enough security would not be available. But the media/PPP has twisted that statement to mean that Musharraf threatened her with no security, which is a silly claim, considering the fact that BB and Musharraf had struck a behind the scenes deal.
By the way, wasnt Rehman Malik BB's security chief back then?
