Islamabad, Apr 12 (IBNS): Days after former Pakistan President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf survived an assassination attempt, a bomb-proof security wall is being constructed around his Chak Shehzad farmhouse, media reports said on Saturday.

"Earlier today, heavy machinery and bomb-proof concrete blocks were transported to the former president’s farmhouse.The construction work is expected to be completed by evening," Dawn News reported.

Musharraf earlier this month survived an assassination attempt as a bomb was blasted allegedly targetting his convoy while he was being shifted from Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) to his farmhouse in Chak Shehzad.

Musharraf returned to Pakistan in March, 2013 after years of self-exile in the UK.

Musharraf rose to power in Pakistan in a coup in 1999. He had stepped down from the power in 2008 and was threatened with impeachment, which resulted in his self-exile.
