(Washingtonpost) Former Pakistani leader Nawaz Sharif said Thursday he would return home from exile on Sept. 10 to challenge President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's plans to extend his rule.
Sharif told reporters in London that he would return to Islamabad shortly before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and return to his power base in the country's east.
"Inshallah (God willing), it will be on the 10th of September that we will land in Islamabad and go to Lahore by road," Sharif said.
