Mush in Saudi Arabia to meet King Abdullah

Islamabad: Pakistan's former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf, who has been living outside the country for over four months, has travelled from Britain to Saudi Arabia to meet Saudi King Abdullah.
Gen (retd.) Musharraf's legal adviser Chaudhry Fawad Hussian said the former President had travelled to Saudi Arabia in a special aircraft sent by King Abdullah. Musharraf will stay in the kingdom as a special guest of the Saudi royal family, he said, adding, King Abdullah will host an "Iftar" dinner for him.
The former president left Pakistan in mid-April for a series of lectures abroad. Observers say it is unlikely he will return to the country in the near future in the wake of a Supreme Court verdict that declared the emergency imposed by him in 2007 as illegal and unconstitutional. The court judgment has raised the possibility of Musharraf being tried on charges of treason. Musharraf's legal woes have increased in the past few weeks as police in Islamabad have registered a case against him for illegally detaining scores of judges during the emergency, while a court in Lahore on Monday asked him to appear before it in connection with an allegation that he was involved in the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto.
