ISLAMABAD, Jan 15: A small fire today broke out at a military hospital in Rawalpindi, where former Pakistani military ruler General Pervez Musharraf is under treatment.
The cause of the blaze, which broke out at the 4th floor of the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC), is suspected to be an electric short circuit, sources said.
The fire was extinguished immediately, officials said. Local media reports said Musharraf was not affected.
The former military ruler is under trial for treason over his imposition of emergency rule in 2007, charges he has dismissed as politically motivated.
He was admitted to AFIC on January 2 after suffering “heart problems” while being driven to court. (AGENCIES)
