Supreme Court Rules Musharraf Can Contest Election

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - SEPTEMBER 28: A Pakistani opposition party member stands in front of a line of policemen after a supreme court decision is announced in favor of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on September 28, 2007, in Islamabad, Pakistan. The court dismissed legal challenges against the president, voting 6-3 that Musharraf can run for a third 5-year term on October 6, while maintaining his role as chief of the army. The vote was a severe blow to opposition political parties who hoped that the newly independent-minded court would rule in their favor. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
