Pakistan hangs Musharraf attacker

A former soldier who was found guilty of conspiracy to assassinate Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has been executed.

Islamuddin Siddiqui,35, was hanged at dawn inside a maximum security prison in Multan.
He was convicted for a failed assassination attempt on Gen Musharraf in December 2003 in Rawalpindi.

The president survived two attacks within days of each other, both on the road between Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Siddiqui was part of a group involved in the first attempt, in which a road bridge was blown up using powerful explosives, but they missed Gen Musharraf's car by seconds.

A military court had found Siddiqui guilty of conspiring to kill the Pakistani leader.
