Pakistan crisis: Musharraf declares emergency, names self chief executive ISLAMABAD (AFX) - Pakistani army chief Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency across the country early Friday and appointed himself chief executive, the official APP news agency said. Under the order, the first since the army deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday, President Muhammed Rafiq Tarar will stay in his post but cabinet ministers will cease to hold their offices. The official statement said the National Assembly and Senate were suspended as well as provincial legislatures. Meanwhile, Army spokesman Brigadier Rashid Qureshi said yesterday that the coup had only been hatched to save the life of Musharraf. He said the army was compelled to thwart a "conspiracy of physically eliminating" Musharraf. jcc/pch/al/sz N For more information and to contact AFX: www.afxnews.com and www.afxpress.com ¸ Copyright 1999, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
