“Islamic militants paraded 48 men on Friday described as government troops who surrendered during fighting — an embarrassment to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf as he struggles to regain control of a mountainous region from Taliban and al-Qaida-linked extremists.

Islamic militants said Saturday they had taken control of a police station in the volatile northwest region, hoisting their flag over its roof.”

Here’s another piece, taken from the Paki section of GEO TV:

Emergency imposed in country, New PCO issued
Saturday, November 03, 2007
ISLAMABAD: Emergency has been imposed all over the country and a new PCO has been issued.

The Chief of the Army Staff has announced the imposition of emergency throughout the country and the constitution 1973 has been suspended while the chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has been removed from his office.

The sources said that President General Pervez Musharraf is likely to address to the nation tonight in this regard.

There are reports that the transmission of the private television channels have been terminated in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.

On this occasion, an important meeting of the Supreme Court Bar Association has been held in which it has been decided to strictly resist the imposition of martial law or emergency by the government.

It has also been decided in the meeting that any extra-judicial and extra-constitutional action will be strongly defied.
