Security for Musharraf beefed up

K J M Varma in Islamabad

The security for Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has been stepped up, with his military and civilian offices, as also his residence being declared no fly zones, in view of increased threat perceptions to him, after he decided to back the US-led military operations in Afghanistan.

Musharraf's presidential secretariat along with the chief of army office in the army general headquarters in Rawalpindi, and his residence there have been designated as no fly zones to prevent September 11 New York and Washington style aerial attacks, The News daily reported on Monday.

Pakistan has already declared such no fly zones over its nuclear installations.

The President's security was beefed up after the pro-Taleban hardline religious parties began agitation for his ouster ever since US began bombing Afghanistan on October 7.

Since Sept 11, he has cancelled most of his official engagements.
