Musharraf, in an interview with CBS news magazine show "60 Minutes" that will air on Sunday, said the threat came from Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and was given to Musharraf's intelligence director. "The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, 'Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age,"' Musharraf said. "I think it was a very rude remark." Musharraf is now in Washington and is due to meet President George W. Bush in the White House on Friday. The Pakistani leader, whose remarks were distributed to the media by CBS, said he reacted to the threat in a responsible way.
