Pakistan's former military
ruler Pervez Musharraf escaped an attack on his convoy early
Thursday, police sources report.
Musharaff was travelling from a military hospital in
Rawalpindi where he had been receiving treatment for a heart
condition to his villa on the outskirts of Islamabad at the time
of the attack.
A bomb hidden in a pipe under a bridge reportedly exploded
20 minutes before the ex president was due to pass.
No casualties were reported in the blast.
Musharraf, who survived numerous assassination attempts
during his time in power, is on trial for treason for suspending
the constitution and imposing emergency rule in 2007.
He was admitted to hospital for observation at the start
of the year.
