It's the second time Basharov said he's coming back.

Pakistan's former military dictator and president have to resign under immense pressure from

political leaders and the courts in 2008.

It was a near war with India in 1999, which made Basharov's high-profile career controversial

from the beginning.

It took power through a military coup from the then-elected Prime Minister Nama Sharif.

Basharov chose to call himself chief executive and then became the president.

But his decision to join the U.S.-led war on terror did not go down well in Pakistan.

He played a key role in the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and the military was deployed

for the first time on the northwest tribal border.

Pakistan's intelligence agencies and the CIA helped train fighters during the Soviet war

in the 80s and developed strong ties with fighters on both sides of the border.

But Al-Qaeda affiliated groups targeted both military and civilians after Basharov's

decision to sever ties with them.

Basharov tried to sign agreements with tribal elders but fighters on one hand and pressure

from Washington was a difficult balance.

He also tried to normalize ties with India but wasn't able to carry it through after

he tried to remove Pakistan's chief justice.

A massive movement in favor of justice if the Karjodhry was one of the deciding factors

in ending Basharov's 10-year rule.

He tried to save power by allowing political leaders in exile to come back and wiping clean

all criminal cases.
