Musharraf disqualified from Pakistan election

ISLAMABAD: Pervez Musharraf was Tuesday disqualified from contesting Pakistani elections next month, crushing his ambition to 'save' the troubled nuclear-armed country just weeks after his return from exile.

Pakistan goes to the polls on May 11, marking the first time a civilian government has handed over power at the ballot box after completing a full term in office in a country used to extended periods of military rule.
