Whats going on in Pakistan now?
 

They have declared a state of emergency and all the independent tv channels and land/mobile phones are dead in the capital.

Its all very odd......

probably a military cue in the works.

Yeah on CNN they are reporting that there are major problems in Pakistan. Isn't THAT a nuclear nation???

Is there any people left in Pakistan ??

I'm sure most of them live here in the UK now...

Private TV channels are dead. But mobiles and landline is working fine. Internet as well. :winkwink:

sounds like a mess

from Debka.com:

Musharraf declares emergency in Pakistan amid mounting terrorist violence and political turmoil - Benazir leaves for Dubai


Paratroops troops have blocked road to Supreme Court which has rejected the president?s declaration of emergency. Troops are also posted at state TV and radio. The Chief Justice has been dismissed and the constitution suspended shortly before a supreme court ruling was due on the eligibility of Musharraf?s run for president while remaining army chief. Musharraf blames the crisis on Islamic militancy and judicial interference. The president of the supreme court bar has meanwhile been arrested.

DEBKAfile adds: Washington warned the Pakistan president against declaring an emergency and the effective imposition of martial law. This development is a severe setback for the Bush administration which encouraged ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto?s return to Pakistan to lead her party in parliamentary elections in January in a power-sharing arrangement with Musharraf.

She left the country for Dubai days after her homecoming, although her husband says she is on her way back.

Muslim extremists, elements of the Pakistan Army and intelligence have led the opposition to her return. Bhutto?s arrival was accompanied by a massive terrorist bombing which killed 180 people in Karachi and was the catalyst for further political turmoil in Islamabad, at a time when pro-Taliban and al Qaeda forces are spreading out of the tribal regions and inflicting punishment on Pakistan troops in wider parts of Pakistan, like the Swat Valley in the extreme north. The crisis was further complicated by the expectation of a supreme court decision disqualifying Musharref for the presidency despite his sweeping victory. He is due to address the nation later.

let them kill each other.

What do you expect?

Pakistan is ran by a dictator , just like Iraq was.

Only difference is that Saddam was a friend that became a foe, where with Musharraf it is the other way around ... at least for now :1orglaugh

Yes,they are a nuclear nation. :Oh crap

I guess is the "president" of Pakistan being quite unpopular at the momenet puts all of his efforts to postpone presidential elections coming jan'08.

It's a scary situation over there right now.

Nuclear war with India coming right up.

there are no friends or emenies in global politics.... only interests.

i wonder, when will you take your fucking dirty hands away from middle east...

True. If someone nuked Pakistan, nobody would get hurt :1orglaugh

Muslim extremists are a plague!

Yes... Yes, it is.

:helpme:321GFY

yeah every muslim is an extremist :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:Oh crap:disgust:error:helpme:321GFY:1orglaugh

haha.. coming from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire

Reminds me of kids in a school yard DF...

Cindy says, "Johnnie is my best friend and always will be".

Johnnie says, "Cindy farted"

Cindy says, "I'll blow your muthafucking ass off the face of the planet"

Strange how life never changes for some, even when they grow up :1orglaugh

The timing of Benazir Bhutto coming back after exile is no coincidence. Musharraf is afraid of losing power and setting up a (more) military state.

Bhutto is just a joke, if not bigger than Musharraf.

ummmmmmm ok i guess you are illetarite? pakistan is at war with themselves

Why not use the word dictator?

He fully qualifies for it, way more than Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad;

I know, what an idiot.
