Talal Bugti (L), son of slain rebel trib

Talal Bugti (L), son of slain rebel tribal chief Nawab Akbar Bugti, submits an application for a case of his father's killing against President Pervez Musharraf at a police station in Quetta on August 18, 2008 . Musharraf resigned on 18 August, bringing down the curtain on a turbulent nine years in power to avoid the first impeachment in the nuclear-armed nation's history. The key US ally, who seized power in a 1999 coup, announced the move in a lengthy televised address, rejecting the charges against him but saying he wanted to spare Pakistan a damaging battle with the ruling coalition.
