Bhutto to face trial if she returns: Musharraf

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf said on Monday that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto would face trial in connection with various cases of corruption if she opted to come back to the country.

"Benazir will have to face trial on her return for the cases pending against her," Musharraf, who was on a campaign to win a presidential term through the April 30 referendum, said in Faisalabad on Sunday.

The former premier had said that she would return home to contest the October elections.

Musharraf also said he would not permit Bhutto and deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif to take part in the October polls.

"Pakistan faced serious setbacks in every sectors due to blunders made by previous leaders," APP, the official news agency, quoted him as saying.
