Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has died at the age of 79. His rule was marked by tensions with India, an atomic proliferation scandal, and an Islamic extremist insurgency, as well as aiding the U.S. war in Afghanistan against the Taliban. His death marks the end of a tumultuous era in Pakistan's history, and his legacy will be remembered as a complex one of successes and failures.
