Pak efforts to seek Musharraf extradition hit roadblock

Pakistan’s efforts to seek extradition of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf from Britain have hit a roadblock as the possibility of capital punishment has impeded an agreement between the two countries, a media report said today.

An extradition treaty between Pakistan and Britain “remains ambivalent” because the joint judicial team assigned to finalise the accord differed over the likelihood of the death sentence, officials of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the Foreign Ministry were quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.
