Pakistani court to rule on Musharraf eligibility

A Pakistani Supreme Court stacked with judges loyal to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf prepared for a final ruling today on whether the general is eligible to be president.

The court, which Gen. Musharraf purged of independent-minded judges after he suspended the constitution on November 3, was widely expected to clear a last legal hurdle for Gen. Musharraf to embark on a new five-year term.
