Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced Monday that he will resign, just days ahead of impeachment in parliament over attempts by the U.S.-backed leader to impose authoritarian rule on his turbulent nation.
The big question is-- what happens to Musharraf now? It's still not clear yet but there are some options the former General has.
On Sunday, a committee of the ruling coalition finalized a list of impeachment charges against Musharraf, including violation of the Constitution, suppression of democracy, and gross misconduct.
Musharraf said the country would lose if the impeachment proceedings were launched. Coalition officials had said Musharraf sought immunity from prosecution but he said in his speech he was asking for nothing.
