Ousted President of Paksitan Pervez Musharraf's woes seems to be far from over even after resigning. Now his bete noire Al-Qaida had threatned to kill him. Al-Qaidea had already made several attempts on his life.

The Taliban and al-Qaida leaders reportedly celebrated the exit of Pervez Musharraf from the presidency atop the hilly terrains along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, while the Muslim extremists heaved a sigh of relief across the country.

And, they all pledged to hunt down Musharraf and eliminate him for aligning with the Western countries and killing hundreds in Pakistan in the name of war on terror, particularly during the Lal Masjid attack.

According to The Sun , Taliban warlords pledged on Monday night to hunt down and murder Pakistan's ousted president Pervez Musharraf. They were determined to exact brutal revenge for his dedication in supporting the West's fight against Islamic terrorism.

The ex-Army chief has survived as many as nine attempts on his life in the past. But, Pakistani Taliban spokesman Maulvi Umar warned: "He should be awarded strict punishment."

Muslim extremists are also said to be baying for blood, especially for attacking the Lal Masjid killing several innocent children. Maulana Mehraj, prayer leader at the Lal Masjid mosque in Pakistan's capital Islamabad, reportedly said: "We hope Musharraf goes to hell. We will find him, he must be hounded to death."
