President Musharraf has announced that Pakistan's armed forces will provide security measures during the elections scheduled for February 2008. The move follows the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on 27 December at an election rally in Rawalpindi. The move is not universally popular as there has been speculation that security forces may be implicated in the assassination.
