Earlier, certain sections of Pakistan media reported that Gen. Musharraf had passed away in Dubai. However, other media houses in Pakistan said the news of his death wasn’t correct.
Musharraf, who served as Pakistan’s President from 2001 to 2008, has been living in Dubai for the last six years. He’s suffering from amyloidosis, a disease that affects connective tissues and organs, inhibiting normal functioning.
Gen. Musharraf faced charges in Pakistan for the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007.
