ISLAMABAD (AP) - Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of assassinated former Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, began his term as Pakistan's new president yesterday by declaring the war on terrorism a chance for the country to overcome its economic problems.

Three days after winning election by legislators, Zardari took the oath of office at a brief ceremony in the presidential palace vacated by Pervez Musharraf, who resigned last month under pressure.

With his three children and Bhutto's sobbing sister among the well-wishers and dignitaries packing a cavernous hall, Zardari beamed as the ceremony ended amid shouts of "Bhutto is alive!"

ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistan's Supreme Court yesterday reinstated three judges ousted by Pervez Musharraf, cementing political divisions in the country a day before it elects a new president.

Musharraf's purge of the court last year deepened his unpopularity and helped his political foes to a victory in February elections. Musharraf resigned under pressure last month.

However, the second-largest party then quit the ruling coalition over the failure to restore all the judges — including the ousted chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry.

Tassadiq Hussain Jillani, Shakirullah Jan and Syed Jamshed Ali were sworn back into the court at a ceremony yesterday.

Law Minister Farooq Naek said Chaudhry was also welcome to take a fresh oath, but said he could not return as chief justice because removing the judge who replaced him could trigger a "constitutional impasse."

"There cannot be two chief justices," Naek told reporters at the court.

The move deepens the rift between the ruling Pakistan People's Party of Asif Ali Zardari, the front-runner to become president in a vote by lawmakers on Saturday, and that of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
