A Pakistani court on Tuesday indicted former President Gen. Pervez Musharraf on murder charges in connection with the December 2007 assassination of late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, raising the specter of fresh discord between the country's civilian politicians and the powerful army, which maintains close ties with the U.S.

Major General (retired) Rashid Qureshi, an aide to the former leader, confirmed to CBS News that Musharraf had been indicted by a court in the city of Rawalpindi, outside Islamabad, where Bhutto was fatally shot just minutes after a political gathering. Musharraf ruled Pakistan for nine years, from 1999 when he seized power in a military coup, until 2008.

Pakistani TV channels reported that Musharraf had been charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitating murder.
