ISLAMABAD (AP) — A spokesman for Pakistan's former president, Pervez Musharraf, says police have arrested him again.
Mohammad Amjad said police Thursday arrested the former general for his alleged role in the death of a radical cleric killed during a raid of a hard-line mosque in Islamabad 2007 that left nearly 100 people dead.
Musharraf has faced a host of legal problems since returning to Pakistan in March after four years in self-exile. But as of Wednesday he had received bail in three of the cases in which he was arrested.
His lawyers at the time said he would be able to go free as soon as the paperwork was filed Thursday, but Amjad said with the new arrest he'll continue to be held at his house in Islamabad.
