Pakistani State of Emergency

[Thormaturge]

This excerpt from the "Pak Tribune" tells a sorry take of the state of Pakistan today..


"Paramilitary troops have been deployed inside state-run television and radio stations in Islamabad.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry has been removed from his post as army troops take control of the Supreme Court.
All communication contacts have been cut off mobile and Internet services have been suspended and private TV channels transmission closed down.
President Musharraf has ordered the heads of the security agencies to ensure law and order during the state of emergency, due to which security has been intensified in the federal capital and four provincial capitals.
The army has taken control of the federal capital and a large number of troops and rangers have been deployed at public places, embassies and other key government installations. More than 1000 troops of frontier constabulary have been summoned to maintain security.
All ways towards Constitutional Avenue and Parliament House has been closed. Media men have also been barred from entering."

It really looks to me as though Musharraf is losing his grip.
