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.
