Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has warned that the country's military could launch another coup, as he prepared to launch a new party and rejoin Pakistan's politics. He said Army Chief Ashfaq Pervez Kayani could be forced to intervene against the government of President Asif Ali Zardari which he said had failed to tackle rampant Islamist militancy and a crumbling economy. Musharraf, who has lived in London since quitting in 2008, cited as evidence a reported crisis meeting this week between Kayani, Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. He told the intelligence Squared debating forum in London yesterday that there was a serious discussion of some kind or other and certainly at this moment all kinds of pressures must be on the army chief. Musharraf confirmed that he would launch a new political party in London tomorrow to contest the next elections in 2013 but refused to say when he would return to Pakistan, where he could face treason charges.
