Gen. Musharraf Declares
State of Emergency in Pakistan
Associated Press
November 3, 2007 9:22 a.m.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – President Gen. Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan on Saturday, state TV said.
“The chief of army staff has proclaimed a state of emergency and issued a provisional constitutional order,” a newscaster on Pakistan TV said.
The declaration came after an extraordinary meeting of cabinet ministers and other officials earlier Saturday amid rising violence and political tensions.
The private Geo TV network, citing unnamed official sources, had earlier reported that a final decision to declare an emergency had been taken and that Gen. Musharraf may address the nation later tonight.
Another government lawmaker and a Western diplomat, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said they had received similar information and expected an emergency as early as Saturday night.

Interestingly, this SOE business is not rare in Pakistan. It was considered both in May and again in August.
Obama must have invaded to show he’s really presidential!
That “news” story was from May 12th!
Oddly enough I suspect this is true.
Update Pakistani Army has overtaken the Supreme Court building and sound like IMO Mussharif didn’t want to continue the election.
Geeze sore losers in our Country get Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes../sarc.

I should have mentioned that it was from Dawn, but the article indicates the source.
