“We will bring Musharraf back to the country soon with a red notice issued through Interpol,” Interior Minister Rehman Malik told lawmakers in the provincial assembly of Bhutto’s home province of Sindh on Tuesday.
“We are in the final phase of doing this,” he added.
Malik also said the government will seek Musharraf’s arrest because he allegedly failed to provide adequate security for Benazir Bhutto.
Bhutto was assassinated on December 27, 2007, while leaving an election rally in Rawalpindi, the headquarters of Pakistan’s army.
Last month, Musharraf indefinitely delayed plans to return to his native country to contest in elections after the government threatened to arrest him upon arrival.
Pakistani courts have issued warrants for his arrest over the 2006 death of Akbar Bugti, a Baluch rebel leader in the southwest, and the 2007 assassination of Bhutto.
Musharraf has been living in self-imposed exile in London and Dubai since August 2008.
