Musharraf declares emergency in Pakistan

General Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan on Saturday, suspending the constitution, replacing the Chief Justice before a crucial Supreme Court ruling on his future as President. Seven of the 17 Supreme Court judges immediately rejected the emergency. Police blocked entry to the Supreme Court building and later took the deposed Chief Justice and other judges away in a convoy.
