Musharraf vows to face justice in Pakistan
Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf Thursday vowed to face justice and not flee the country in his first interview since being placed under house arrest eight months ago.
Musharraf has faced a range of criminal cases dating back to his 1999-2008 rule after returning to Pakistan from self-imposed exile in March, including the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
He has been granted bail in the four main cases against him but remains under guard because of threats by Taliban insurgents to his life.
There have been persistent rumours that a deal would be struck to allow Musharraf to leave the country without standing trial to avoid a clash between the government and the all-powerful military.
