 Two soldiers were court-martialled on Friday for involvement in an attempt on President Pervez Musharraf's life on December 14, 2003. Military spokesman Major Gen Shaukat Sultan told Daily Times that havaldar Mohammad Younas was given death and sepoy Islamuddin was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The president escaped the attack in Rawalpindi when a powerful explosion ripped through part of a bridge shortly after his car went past it. The explosives planted under the Chaklala Bridge detonated moments after the last vehicle of the president's motorcade had crossed the bridge while going to Army House. |
