Musharraf to face impeachment

(01:45) Report

Aug 7 - Pakistan's ruling coalition says it would move to impeach President Pervez Musharraf and warns him against dismissing the government.

The move is likely to deepen political uncertainty in the nuclear-armed Muslim nation, a key U.S. ally, which already faces a faltering economy and a growing threat from Islamist militancy.

Asif Ali Zardari, widower of slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and head of the coalition, said parliament would be called this month to begin impeachment proceedings.
