Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf, currently locked in a power struggle with opposition leaders following his recent presidential election win, has already survived a number of assassination attempts. Yesterday, a helicopter escorting the embattled president crashed in Kashmir, raising new concerns for his safety.
