Islamabad, Jun 11 (PTI) A Pakistani anti-terrorism court today issued a permanent non-bailable arrest warrant for former President Pervez Musharraf for failing to cooperate with investigators probing the 2007 assassination of ex-premier Benazir Bhutto.

Prosecutors from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) told Judge Rana Nisar Ahmed of the Rawalpindi-based anti-terrorism court that Musharraf had not appeared in court even after being issued summons and declared a "proclaimed offender" or fugitive.

They asked the court to issue a permanent arrest warrant.

Taking note of this, the judge issued a fresh and permanent non-bailable arrest warrant for Musharraf, currently living in self-exile outside Pakistan.

The prosecutors also asked the court to issue orders to confiscate Musharraf's moveable and immovable property.

The judge directed authorities to submit details of his assets at the next hearing and adjourned the case for two weeks.
