ISLAMABAD: A court in Pakistan on Friday ordered former military ruler Pervez Musharraf to be held for 14 days over a 2007 raid on a radical mosque in Islamabad.
Police arrested Musharraf late on Thursday over the military raid on the Red Mosque which left dozens dead, carried out while the general was head of state.
Musharraf has been under house arrest at his plush villa on the edge of the Pakistani capital since April over a string of cases dating back to his 1999-2008 rule.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted him bail over the death of a rebel leader, a move that could have seen him freed once release procedures were completed.
