Rawalpindi, Oct 1 : Pakistan’s former President General Pervez Musharraf today stated that he would not move out of the country.

According to The News, Musharraf made the statement after offering Eid prayers in Army House today.

The General said that several foreign institutes and non-government organization (NGOs) have been inviting him to present lectures.

However, Musharraf said that he would start the visits only when matters related to the invitations were finalized.

Washington, Sept 15 : Even as it became amply clear that former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf will vacate the presidency soon, “shudders” were felt in Washington as who would actually control the nuclear command after him, said a noted American journalist based in Washington.

He said that though the nuclear command authority’s leaders were Musharraf “acolytes” “but they are thought to be military professionals first, and, therefore, responsible.”

Washington, Sept 12: As the US death toll in Afghanistan has reportedly reached an all-time high, around 113 this year alone, the American intelligence agency CIA has reportedly launched a major blitz into Pakistan against top Al Qaeda and Taliban targets, apparently with due authority from US President George Bush.

Besides the 113 American soldiers, 101 other foreign troops have died during this year.

According to the Daily News, the CIA had rarely hit targets in Pakistan because they sparked anti-American outrage that threatened former Pakistan president and US ally Pervez Musharraf’s fragile hold on power.

Islamabad - Pakistani lawmakers Saturday were casting their votes to elect the successor to former president Pervez Musharraf who resigned last month to avoid impeachment in the parliament.

Asif Ali Zardari, widower of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto who heads her Pakistan People's Party (PPP) since her assassination last year, is expected to win the presidential race against the two other candidates.

Islamabad, Sept 5 : Senior PPP leader Syeda Abida Hussain has said that the Wednesday’s assassination bid on Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani could be the handiwork of “pro-Musharraf elements” who, according to her, were not happy over the ouster of former president.

She said that it was during the period of Pervez Musharraf that commitments with regard to the war on terror were made.

“It was during this period that an amount of 45 billion dollars came into the country and some people got fiscal gains beyond their imagination. Such people would never like their chief patron out of power,” The News quoted her as saying in a TV interview.

Islamabad, Sept 5 : One of the first cousins of former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf received a sum of 88,579 British Pounds (Rs 12.4 million approx) after he was appointed adviser to the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) in London, the National Assembly was told last evening.
