A bomb-proof security wall is being constructed outside former president Pervez Mushararf’s house amid security threats to former military ruler.
Heavy machinery and bomb-proof concrete blocks are being transported to Musharraf’s farmhouse and the construction is expected to be completed in a day or two.
According to Dawn News, Musharraf had been receiving several life threats since his return to Pakistan.
Explosives have also been recovered from around his farmhouse residence on a number of occasions.
Last year, in April 2013, 45 kilograms of explosives had been discovered in a car abandoned near his farmhouse when he was being taken back there after his appearance in an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi.
Police also discovered five kilograms of explosive materials, weapons and ammunition close to the route that Musharraf was due to take from his house to the court on Dec 24.
On Dec 30, the police had recovered four packets of explosive materials near Musharraf’s farmhouse.
Consequently, the ministry advised extreme vigilance and fool-proof security measures be taken to avoid any untoward incident, the report added. (ANI)
