The 79-year-old former leader – who was leader between 2001 and 2008 – died in Dubai after a long illness.
He had survived numerous assassination attempts, and found himself on the front line of the struggle between militant Islamists and the West.
He supported the US “war on terror” after 9/11 despite domestic opposition.
He left Pakistan for Dubai in 2016 to seek medical treatment and had been living in exile in the country ever since.
