Pakistan's ruling coalition collapses
| Quote From Source: | Pakistan's ruling coalition collapsed Monday, torn apart by internal bickering just a week after Pervez Musharraf's ouster and underscoring fears that the government would be distracted from its fight against Islamic extremists.
The shake up caps a week of upheaval in Pakistan's political landscape.
Musharraf quit Monday, nine years after he seized power in a military coup, to avoid impeachment charges.

Pakistan: Top US diplomat escapes gun attack
| Quote From Source: | Gunmen opened fire on the top U.S. diplomat in northwestern Pakistan early Tuesday as she left for work in her armored vehicle, police and embassy officials said. No one was killed in the attack.
The brazen attack came hours after the breakup of Pakistan's ruling coalition government, a fracture that could concentrate more power into the hands of a party that says it is committed to supporting the U.S. war on terror.

Won't be surprised to see more problems here in the near future. |

| Quote From Source: | Pakistan's political turmoil deepened Tuesday after the two main parties in the ruling coalition split, weakening the fragile government just a week after president Pervez Musharraf resigned.
The world's only nuclear-armed Islamic nation, already facing a fresh campaign of bombings by a resurgent militant movement, now faces the prospect of a bitter political battle over the choice of Musharraf's successor.
