President declares martial law, suspends constitution

...in Pakistan.

Pakistan's President Musharraf has declared a state of emergency in the country ahead of a court ruling that could overturn his recent election win.

Seven Supreme Court judges immediately rejected the emergency, which suspended the current constitution.

The government blocked transmissions of private news channels in several cities and telephone services in Islamabad were cut.

Military vehicles patrolled and troops sealed off roads in the administrative heart of the capital.

Wasn't it Obama who helped destabilize the country?
