Wide briefing STORYLINE: Pakistan's President General Pervez Musharraf visited troops on Tuesday to bid them farewell, a day before standing down as military chief to become a civilian head of state in a move aimed at easing the country's political crisis. A guard of honour composed of service personnel from the army, navy and air force greeted him as he arrived at armed forces headquarters in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital Islamabad, where the army has its headquarters and other key facilities. After the colourful ceremony, Musharraf met with senior commanders of the three services. Musharraf, who wore his general's uniform, did not make any comments to journalists who were being taken on a military-conducted visit to cover the ceremonies. Aides to Musharraf announced he would retire on Wednesday as chief of Pakistan's army, whose generals have ruled the country for most of its life since independence from British rule in 1947. The opposition had demanded that Musharraf relinquish his role as military chief, and rescind a state of emergency he declared on November 3. Musharraf spokesman, Rashid Qureshi said the president would make "farewell visits" before ending a military career that began in 1964. A senior government official said on Tuesday Pakistan's war on terror would not be affected by Musharraf standing down as military chief. Referring to the January election, Cheema said the government would not interfere in the political process but warned it would take necessary steps to ensure the election was peaceful.
