Musharraf will be charged for treason

According to Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the country's former military ruler will be charged for treason by the newly installed government.

Speaking to Parliament on Monday, Sharif said Musharraf would have to answer for his acts during his years in power, although the government has not yet pressed formal charges.

The Pakistani judiciary's stiff treatment of Musharraf, who is currently under house arrest, is reported to have stirred disquiet in parts of the military.
