Former president of Pakistan has died
In a 2006 memoir, he took credit for saving Pakistan from American wrath saying the country had been warned it needed to be prepared to be bombed back to the Stone Age if it did not ally itself with Washington.
In other areas of foreign policy, Musharraf attempted to normalise relations between New Delhi and Islamabad. Analysts say the issue of Kashmir which remains the most potent point of contention between India and Pakistan was close to being solved during the Musharraf era. But the peace process was derailed soon after his rule.
The later years of his presidency were, however overshadowed, by his increasingly authoritarian rule. In 2006, Musharraf ordered military action that killed a tribal head from the province Balochistan, laying the foundations of an armed insurgency that rages to this day.
