Musharraf twice suspended the constitution, and was accused of rigging a referendum shoring up his power and rampant human rights abuses.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's exiled former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who became a key US ally during the "war on terror", died in a Dubai hospital on Sunday aged 79 after a long illness.

Nonetheless he became Washington's chief regional ally during their invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan. "I can confirm that the late general breathed his last in Dubai this morning ... He is no more," the official, who asked not to be named, told AFP. Many Pakistanis handed out sweets to celebrate his 1999 coup, which ended a corrupt and economically disastrous administration.
