There are now reports that Musharraf will declare a state of emergency.

This is about his attempt to delay elections, as his only remaining constituency is the army.

His negotiations with Benazir Bhutto have fallen through, the Supreme Court has reinstalled its chief justice and is reviewing the request of his ousted predecessor Nawaz Sharif to return to Pakistan.

Considering Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, and its descent into failing state status, this is of concern.
