Pakistan suspended from Commonwealth

Pakistan was today suspended from the Commonwealth after last week's military coup, Commonwealth ministers said.

Ministers from the eight-nation Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group took the decision at a meeting in London, saying the suspension would be effective ''forthwith'' and would remain ''pending the restoration of democracy in the country.''
