Wrangling about reinstating Pakistani high court judges is set to be the next test for the country's ruling coalition.
Nawaz Sharif, former premier and head of the second-largest coalition party, has threatened to pull out of the coalition if on Monday the PPP does not reinstate judges who former President Pervez Musharraf sacked. Meanwhile gunmen in the Pakistani port city of Karachi set fire to two armoured personnel carriers bound for US forces in Afghanistan; and militants attacked the home of a district government official in Pakistan's Swat Valley, killing ten people. Growing militant violence is adding to the government's woes, after staunch US ally Pervez Musharraf quit as president last week.
