Senator Malik has testified that Bhutto was threatened by General Musharraf at a meeting held in Dubai prior to her departure for Pakistan in 2007, reports Dawn.

Sources revealed that Malik has claimed that 'he witnessed Musharraf threatening Bhutto at the Dubai meeting that her future depended on her relationship with him'.

Sources in the prosecution claimed that the testimony of Malik would strengthen the prosecution case against General Musharraf.

The prosecution named four witnesses against General Musharraf in 2010.
