Musharraf abandons plans to return to pak:
Former President Pervez Musharraf has abandoned plans to return to Pakistan from self-exile in Britain after the military leadership in Islamabad ``cold-shouldered'' his demands for extra security to counter multiple threats to his life from militant outfits like al-Qaeda and Taliban.
Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf says he will return to Pakistan later this month to prepare for forthcoming elections.
