Pakistan's military may be forced to confront its most popular politician, Imran Khan, after his followers attacked senior officers' homes and also military buildings. Protestors took to the streets after Khan was detained on corruption charges and it emerged that supporters of ousted prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, were behind the grisly murder of a journalist earlier this month. Meanwhile, diplomats are warning of the country's fragile economic situation, which could push the nuclear-armed nation towards chaos.
