Pak welcomes Musharraf's decision (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf stepped down as Army Chief on Wednesday, November 28 and will be sworn in as a civilian leader for a second five-year term on Thursday, November 29. In doing so, he has fulfilled one of the long-held demands of his political rivals. In Karachi, former leaders Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif welcomed the resignation. Musharraf now aims to become a civilian president, supported by his hand-picked successor, Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani as army commander.
