Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has declared emergency rule, state-run TV has said, amid reports that police have surrounded the Supreme Court.
Troops have been deployed inside state-run TV and radio stations, while independent channels have gone off air.
Gen Musharraf is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on whether he was eligible to run for re-election last month while remaining army chief.
Pakistan has been engulfed in political upheaval in recent months.
The security forces have suffered a series of blows from pro-Taleban militants opposed to Gen Musharraf's support for the US-led "war on terror".
If the pro-Taleban militants take over in Pakistan the balance of power will dramatically shift not only in the Middle East but through the world.
Gen Musharraf has been under an assault for aiding us. Turkey is being pressured internally to invade Northern Iraq and eliminate with the Kurds.
These are certainly exciting times as we witness the Middle East forming confederacy against Israel and the US.
