Uncertain ally Musharraf resigns as Pakistan shifts power
In our view, Musharraf’s resignation leaves a fragile political landscape with the military maintaining control of nuclear components.

The coalition government, led by Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, is divided and unlikely to stabilize quickly, raising U.S. cautions about guiding Pakistan’s succession and handling al Qaeda threats.
