Report: Pakistani President Musharraf to Be Impeached
Political tension heightened in Pakistan today as it was confirmed that President Pervez Musharraf is to be impeached.
The leaders of the nation's two main parties, the Pakistan Peoples' Party and the Pakistan Muslim League reached an agreement early Thursday morning to force him to stand down.
Asif Ali Zardari, the head of the Pakistan Peoples' Party and Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League faction, will formally request that he steps down, and impeach him through parliamentary measures if he refuses to do so.
A senior member of the ruling coalition said a joint charge sheet against the president is being drawn up. It will leave Musharraf with options to defend himself before parliament or quit before the vote.
Ahsan Iqbal, a spokesman for the Pakistan Muslim League said today, "Musharraf cannot stay in power anymore."

I read something yesterdady, on the site UrbanSurvival.com, that there was a report that Musharref would be the victim of a coup attempt in the next 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe this is what was planned.
