Bilal Musharraf, Stanford University, CA

Bilal Musharraf

Bilal Musharraf is the son of Sehba and Pervez Musharraf, who are the First Lady and President of Pakistan, respectively. Bilal is married with two children, as is his only sibling, his sister Ayla.[1] In 2005, he visited India with his octogenarian grandmother; the visit attracted considerable media attention.[2]

In March 2005, the family was held up at a San Francisco, California airport because security personnel detected traces of TNT in his son's diaper bag; they missed their United Airlines flight, but were cleared to depart and caught a later plane.[3] Additionally, his father has been criticized for allegedly allowing government contracts to Bilal's father-in-law, Aftab Siddiqui, a retired army officer who is a civil engineer with an MS from UC-Berkeley.[4]
