Fair point.

But if he declares a state of emergency he doesn't have to hand over the reins, does he...?

The police said the first explosion hit the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) at 0925 (0425 GMT) in Lahore.

It is rare for groups to claim responsibility for the attacks, but they are usually blamed on pro-Taleban militants and on elements of now banned jihadist groups nurtured by the intelligence agencies.

Talk about reaping what you sow!

(although I suppose the FIA isn't the same as Pakistan's secret service the ISI)
