Musharaf to be a Middle East Scholar by an offer by US organization in Washington DC

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has been offered a job in Washington leading the Middle East Institute, sources said.

The Pakistan Dawn reported Sunday that Musharraf arrived in the United States earlier this month. Last week, he reportedly spent three days in Washington where he met American scholars, think-tank experts and friends.

The former military leader left for Pakistan from New York on Saturday evening.

The institute's former head, former U.S. ambassador to Pakistan Wendy Chamberlain, said Musharraf should be the institute's next scholar-in-residence on Pakistan.

Dawn reported that sources say Musharraf seems interested in the post.
