Nawaz Sharif pulls party out of Pakistani coalition

Pakistan's Nawaz Sharif says he's pulled his party out of Pakistan's five-month-old ruling coalition because it failed to restore judges ousted by former president Pervez Musharraf or decide upon a successor to his presidential office. Many analysts are now asking if this spells the end of Pakistan's transition to a parliamentary democracy.
