Former president Pervez Musharraf plans to return to his country next year, despite facing possible arrest, in order to participate in a 2013 election, he told reporters on Friday. "My plan is to land in Lahore on March 23 next year, if not earlier," he said, adding he would participate in the election the following year.
The 2013 election is for parliament, which selects the president in Pakistan. "I run the risk of being arrested, but I will take the risk for Pakistan," he told reporters at a news conference in Dubai, adding that he had not tried to broker a deal to avoid arrest. Musharraf said he was sceptical any Pakistani intelligence officer knew of bin Laden's hiding place but gave no further details. "I doubt that anyone from intelligence would have known where he was, officers change every three years," he said.
