ISLAMABAD  - Interior Minister Ch Nisar Ali Khan has said
 that Rawalpindi situation is improving gradually after the unfortunate 
incident occurred on Friday.<br />

Addressing a news conference here on Sunday‚ Nisar said curfew will 
be relaxed from 7.30 pm tonight to twelve midnight. He said negotiations
 were held with Ulema of all schools of thought, adding that Ulema 
demonstrated their prudence.<br />

Fighting erupted on Friday in the garrison-city, which neighbours the
 capital Islamabad, when a procession by Shiite Muslims to mark the most
 important day of the mourning month of Muharram coincided with a sermon
 at a nearby Sunni mosque.<br />

The groups attacked each other, TV cameramen and security forces, firing gunshots.<br />

Rawalpindi has been under nearly complete curfew since the incident, 
which saw a large number of troops deployed there as well as in the 
southern city of Multan and Chishtian town to keep the peace.<br />

Judge Mamoon Al-Rasheed of the Lahore High Court will head the probe, a court official said.<br />

Meanwhile, Shahbaz Sharif, who is the chief minister of the Punjab 
province where the violence occurred, held talks with religious scholars
 in Rawalpindi and discussed compensation for the families of those 
killed, state television reported.</div>

<br />
PESHAWAR (AFP) - Right-wing Pakistani political parties on Sunday
 postponed a scheduled blockade of NATO supply lines meant to protest 
the killing of the Taliban chief, citing recent sectarian clashes.<br />

Pakistan reacted angrily earlier this month to a US drone attack that
 killed Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud, saying the strike had
 sabotaged peace talks with the insurgents.<br />

Former cricketer Imran Khan, head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf 
(PTI) party, called for a blockade of NATO convoys to Afghanistan to 
force the US to abandon its drone programme.<br />

Khan had set a November 20 deadline for the halting of drone strikes 
and threatened to block supply trucks in northwestern Khyber 
Pakhtunkhwa, where his party leads a coalition government. He announced 
via Twitter on Sunday the protest would now be held on November 23.<br />

Shabeer Ahmad Khan, a leader of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the country s 
main religious party, earlier announced the postponement at a joint 
press conference with the PTI and smaller parties.<br />

Shabeer said that sectarian clashes that occurred in Rawalpindi on Friday were the reason for the delay.<br />

"Drone strikes are attacks on the sovereignty of Pakistan and to protect it some practical steps have to be taken," he added.<br />

Clashes between the country s majority Sunnis and minority Shiites 
saw nine killed and 60 injured in Rawalpindi, a garrison city that 
borders the capital Islamabad, with the violence rippling out to the 
country s south.<br />

It is not clear how Imran Khan would carry out his threat of  
blockade as authority over highways lies with the federal government.<br />

Islamabad condemns drone strikes as a violation of sovereignty, and 
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif urged President Barack Obama to end them 
during recent White House talks.<br />

But analysts say Sharif s ability to issue demands to Washington are 
constrained by the fact the US last month agreed to release around $1.6 
billion in aid.<br />

In addition, Pakistan has just embarked on a new $6.7 billion 
International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan package with support from 
Washington.<br />

Mehsud s death was the third major blow struck against the Pakistani 
Taliban by the US this year, following the killing of number two Waliur 
Rehman in a drone strike in May and the capture of another senior 
lieutenant in Afghanistan last month.<br />

The group has named hardline cleric Maulana Fazlullah its new leader.<br />

He is known for leading the Taliban s bloody two-year rule in Swat 
Valley and for ordering the shooting of schoolgirl activist Malala 
Yousafzai.</div>

<br />
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan announced Sunday it would put former 
military ruler General Pervez Musharraf on trial for treason, punishable
 by death or life imprisonment, for imposing emergency rule in 2007.<br />

"Following the judgement of the Supreme Court and a report submitted 
by an inquiry committee, it has been decided to start proceedings 
against General Pervez Musharraf (for treason) under Article 6 of the 
Constitution," Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told a press 
conference televised live.<br />

"It is happening for the first time in the history of Pakistan and 
the decision has been taken in the national interest," Khan said.<br />

The minister said the country s Chief Justice would Monday receive a 
letter from the government requesting the setting-up of a tribunal of 
three high court judges to start proceedings against Musharraf.<br />

The government would also announce a special prosecutor on Monday.<br />

Musharraf is already facing four major criminal cases dating back to 
his 1999-2008 rule, including one related to the assassination of former
 prime minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007.<br />

Last week he asked a court to let him leave the country to visit his 
sick mother in Dubai. The court was expected to rule on the application 
on Monday.<br />

There have been rumours in recent months that a deal would be reached
 for Musharraf to leave Pakistan without going through with his trials.<br />

Khan said that three thrice-elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif s 
government had come to power five months ago and it had never 
demonstrated any "revengeful" gesture towards General Musharraf.<br />

Musharraf overthrew the Sharif government in a bloodless military 
coup in October 1999, but a year later the Supreme Court validated the 
take over.<br />

In November 2007 Musharraf imposed emergency rule, suspending the 
constitution and parliament and sacking top judges who declared his 
actions unconstitutional and illegal.<br />

Musharraf technically became a free man this month when an Islamabad 
district court granted him bail over a deadly raid on a radical mosque 
in the capital in 2007.<br />

His return to Pakistan in March was far from the triumphant occasion he had hoped for.<br />

He was barred from contesting the general election, which was won 
convincingly by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif -- the man he ousted from 
power in 1999 -- and was hit with a series of criminal cases dating back
 to his rule.<br />

Apart from the mosque raid, he faces charges over Bhutto s murder at 
an election rally in 2007, the death of a Baluch rebel leader in 2006 
and the detention of judges in 2007.<br />

He was put under house arrest in April, an unprecedented move against
 a former army chief in a country where the military holds huge power.</div>

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AFP) - Pakistan on Sunday ordered an inquiry 
into sectarian violence in the garrison city of Rawalpindi that killed 
ten people, injured 60 and sparked clashes around the country, officials
 said.<br />

<br />

The groups attacked each other, TV cameramen and security forces, firing gunshots.<br />

Judge Mamoon Al-Rasheed of the Lahore High Court will head the probe, a court official told AFP.<br />

Residents are now facing a shortage of food, as the curfew was lifted
 for only three hours late on Saturday when no shops were open.<br />

"All shops, bakeries and restaurants are closed, the roads are 
deserted and I am running out of food and other essential items now," 
Shafiq Ahmed, a resident of the Satellite Town district told AFP.<br />

"Last night the curfew break was announced abruptly and only a few 
people came out of their homes, but they found closed markets and 
returned empty handed," he added.<br />

Mohammad Shehzad, another resident, said that he bought food every 
Sunday, but because of the curfew everything was shut and he was 
prevented by police and troops from going out.<br />

Pakistan is rife with sectarian clashes, with Sunni militant groups 
linked to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban often attacking gatherings by 
Shiites, who constitute some 20 percent of the country s overwhelmingly 
Muslim population.<br />

Pakistan had deployed heavy security all across the country for 10th 
of Muharram on Friday -- which is the death anniversary of Hussein, the 
grandson of the Prophet Mohammed -- to avert any terrorist attack on the
 mourning processions of Shiites.<br />

The Islamic month of Muharram lasts until December 5 this year and is a particularly fraught time.<br />

Hussein was killed by the armies of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD and 
his death in Karbala in Iraq is mourned across the world by Shiites 
every year.<br />

<br />
RAWALPINDI - Authorities have extended the curfew for 
another 24 hours in Rawalpindi in the wake of sectarian tension.<br />

According to reports, administration fears that violence could erupt 
again after the killing of 10 people during Friday's clash at Raja 
Bazaar.<br />

The Punjab provincial government imposed curfew in different parts of
 Rawalpindi including Potohar Town, Rawal Town, Raja bazar, Cantonment 
areas after violent clashes between two groups and the curfew will 
remain in place unless the situation is improved, an official said.<br />

Meanwhile, Punjab government has set up a five-member committee to 
probe the violent clashes. Law Minsiter Rana Sanaullah will head the 
committee comprising Chief Secretary, Commissioner Rawalpindi, Interior 
Secretary and IG Punjab. The committee will investigate the matter and 
present its report to the chief minister within three days.<br />

Tension is still prevailing in the different areas of the city while 
people are also being forced to stay indoors to avoid any untoward 
incident. The law enforcement agencies have also arrested eight 
suspected persons on Saturday in various areas of the city.<br />

The clashes between the two groups erupted when a mourners’ 
procession of Muharram 10 was on its way through Fawara Chowk in the 
town. A group of miscreants at 3:00pm reportedly snatched guns from 
police personnel deputed for security, and opened fire, sources said.<br />

The panic spread and the unknown miscreants set a portion of the 
cloth market in Raja Bazar on fire. The situation soon got out of hand 
and sensing the gravity of the situation, Chief Commissioner Rawalpindi 
and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab had requested the 
authorities to impose a curfew.<br />

A large number of army troops and Rawalpindi police personnel were 
patrolling in the various areas of the city. Aerial surveillance of the 
city was also conducted and helicopters kept flying over the city on 
Saturday.<br />

The law enforcement agencies also placed shipping containers at 
Faizabad and blocked Murree Road while security has been tightened at 
all worship places of the city. Emergency has also been declared in all 
hospitals and mobile phone service was suspended as a security measure.<br />

Taking notice of the incident, Chief Minister of Punjab, Mian Shahbaz
 Sharif directed police to arrest the culprits involved in the incident 
and assured judicial probe into the incident will be done.<br />

According to a Punjab government spokesperson, the curfew was imposed
 to bring the situation under control following the deadly clashes and 
the subsequent unrest, which is feared to spark off more untoward 
incidents to the peril of local residents.</div>

<br />
RAWALPINDI - Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh 
Rasheed said there was a deep conspiracy behind this unfortunate 
incidence, adding that no local person was involved in the incident.<br />
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, he blamed 
administration’s incompetence and negligence for the violence, which 
killed 10 people and left scores of others wounded. Sheikh also called 
for a judicial probe into Friday’s sectarian violence in Rawalpindi.<br />
He urged the ruling party to consider Rawalpindi its own city and come forward to restore calm in the garrison city.<br />
No such incident even happened in a 100-year history of Rawalpindi, 
he said, adding that market was set on fire from behind. The AML chief 
said that those involved in the violence were not locals.<br />
On Friday, the clashes between two rival groups started when aerial 
firing triggered a stampede when Ashura procession was passing through 
Fawara Chowk.<br />
Some unidentified persons pelted stones and also torched a cloth 
market nearby. The angry mob also stopped fire brigade vehicles to reach
 the spot. The fire engulfed more than 100 shops in cloth market while 
operation was underway to control it.</div>

<br />
The 24 hour curfew has been imposed within the limits of 19 
Rawalpindi police stations. The curfew will also extend to Rawal Town 
and Potohar Town.<br />
Rawalpindi city police and a large number of army troops are now 
patrolling various areas in the city. Meanwhile, cellular services will 
remain suspended in the city.<br />
According to reports, containers are being also placed in Faizabad to
 block Murree Road while security has been tightened at all worship 
places of the city. Emergency has also been declared in all hospitals. <br />
The tragedy occurred as mob turned against the police in the procession passing through Raja Bazaar in Pindi on Friday.<br />
As Shia Muslims massed to mourn, a group of miscreants at 3:00pm 
reportedly snatched guns from police personnel installed in the area for
 security, and opened fire.<br />
As panic spread, unknown people set a portion of the cloth market in Raja Bazaar on fire.<br />
The situation soon got out of hand and the army was called in to control the situation.<br />
“The clashes started when a sermon was being delivered from a Sunni 
mosque on the way of the procession route. The infuriated Shias attacked
 the mosque and also put a cloth market at fire,” police official Waseem
 Ahmed claimed.<br />
A large contingent of fire brigades, rescue teams and as many as six army companies were summoned to control the situation.<br />
