NEWS ROUND UP FROM PAKISTAN

  • ANALYSIS ABOUT MUSHARRAF'S FUTURE FROM A BRIT/ARABIST HERE. EXCERPT:
The political standing of President Musharraf has plunged. He has made many errors and enemies since he led a successful military coup against the corrupt civilian government in 1999, and his opponents will tell you he is finished. I have yet to be convinced and he has one or two cards up his sleeve. It is not going to be easy to remove a recently elected president, who for the moment has real power, whose political foes have little in common, and abroad both the United States and the United Kingdom need his support in the battle against Al-Qaeda.
