Islamabad: Pakistan's former military strongman General Pervez Musharraf could face "renewed legal jeopardy", a leading Pakistani daily said on Thursday.

An editorial "Musharraf's emergency" in the Dawn said that Musharraf has told "the FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) that the November 2007 emergency was the result of a vast consultative exercise, imposed on the advice of then-prime minister Shaukat Aziz and approved by soon-to-be army chief General Ashfaq Kayani, among many other senior political and military functionaries at the time."
