Nawaz had also booked on Gulf as well, going via Muscat, Oman. But obviously he didn't trust the Omani's as well. It seems that ganja has lost trust all over the Gulf and the Arab world.
*Decided to travel in PIA flight as other flight might could be disallowed: Nawaz *
Updated at 2500 PST
Former Prime Minister and PML (N) chief Muhammad Nawaz Sharif disclosed that he decided to travel in a PIA flight due to changed scenario because it was feared that if I had booked the flight of any foreign airline that would have been cancelled or diverted to other destination on one way or the other. He stated this while talking to Geo News on board PIA flight PK-786. The situation of Pakistan is crystal clear before every body and the Pakistani nation wants to get rid of dictatorship. “The feeling about my return to homeland is beyond explanation,” he remarked. “Thanks to God that I have stepped in national flag carrier after nine years to travel to Pakistan and I was all the time missing my homeland and Pakistani people,” he said.
I seriuosly am getting a bit annoyed with the headlines presented as breaking news
'Nawaz sharif leaving his home'
'Nawaz sharif entering heathrow'
'Nawaz sharif in departure lounge'
'Nawaz sharif going to washroom for a quick leak' (well not really but you know what I mean)
redundant question. only time will tell how popular NS will be if he is allowed in the country but the CJ's trial showed dictators tend to be meek in face of public resentment.
well there can be chances that gov. will re-direct this flight to saudi arabia once its in the air,
I think it will be allowed to land in Pakistan, and then he could be bundled straight onto another plane to Jeddah.
There are reports that Saad Hariri met the Chief Justice yesterday (of course denied), so he (CJ) is likely to have been given forewarning of what could happen. Seen as the Sharifs quite clearly told lies to the Supreme Court that they had not made any agreement to leave the country, any judicial response will be measured.
and thats what aloo's plan all along? he wanted mush to repeat history with role reversals so that he can make a case.
Ball's in Mush's court. Unfortunately NS does not have any 101 brigades to call on.
I personally don't find Mush to be stupid enough to re-route his[NS's] flight but if he does, he will lose all moral high ground, however residual it might be, for taking over in the first place.
^ are you kidding me? the saudi guy went and met with the cj? wow! something is seriously underhanded going on
Those are the rumours - of course they have been denied. How would it look if our "hero" CJ was seen to be part of all this wheeling dealing involving so many foreign actors? :)

I am afraid Mush is once again doing the wrong thing (sad thing is i have had to say this all along since the CJP thing). He should let them land safely and then pressurize them domestically but i am afriad it will again be dealt with in a wrong way. Mush has the upper hand after Saudi intervention and press conference yesterday but he will lose it this way.
I just can't help feeling that musharaf cannot help enjoying the irony of ns being on a plane asking to land in pakistan. even if he has no plan of denying that, he has to atleast for a moment ponder that.
wonder how long before the a.q.khan surfaces with a statement
