crime branch would try to get non-bailable arrest warrants of Musharraf
and Shaukat Aziz.
The arrest warrants has been received by the crime branch; meanwhile
the provincial government has sent a letter to the federal government
for brining back Musharraf and Sahukat Aziz.
Prior to this the same court had issued the arrest warrant for former Home Minister Balochistan Shoaib Ahmed Nosherwani.

to register a murder case against Parvez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz,
Jam Muhammad Yousuf, Awais Ahmed Gahni, Aftab Sherpao and Mir Shoaib
Nosherwani.
On the other hand the two member bench of the Balochistan High Court
headed by Chief Justice Qazi Muhammad Faiz Essa is hearing the petition
filed by Nawab Jamil Akbar Bugti against the killing of his father.

security forces operation on 26th August 2006. SANA
