Anti-Musharraf parties to form Pakistan govt

Pakistan’s election winners sealed an agreement today to form a coalition government and said parliament would restore judges ousted by President Pervez Musharraf – further clouding the US-allied leader’s political future.

In the capital Islamabad, police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of lawyers demonstrating for the reinstatement of the judges, whom Mr Musharraf deposed during a burst of emergency rule last year.
