Pakistan will hold parliamentary elections before 15 February, President Pervez Musharraf says, according to BBC online.
Gen. Musharraf announced the decision hours after coming under pressure from US President George W Bush to hold elections in January, as scheduled.
But ex-Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto said the announcement was “vague” and designed to buy Gen Musharraf time.
The president imposed a state of emergency on Saturday, blaming militant violence and an unruly (ustyrlig, red.) judiciary.
