Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has dismissed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry,   alleging that he misused his office.      While the government officially denies it,   Chaudhry has been placed under house arrest, surrounded by a police barricade to prevent visitors:      "You cannot stop us from entering the residence of Iftikhar Chaudhry," (Qazi Hussain Ahmed, President of the Islamist opposition alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal) told police, and then crossed the barricade.    The situation forced the police personnel to call reinforcement to foil the attempt of the opposition leaders.    Chaudry's "misuse of office" was to investigate   the disappearances of four hundred people, many of them human rights workers, who were arrested since the War on Terrorism began, as well as to prevent the sale of a government-run steel mill and the conversion of a public park in Islamabad to a privately-run mini golf club.    Chaudry's dismissal has provoked a constitutional crisis in Pakistan.  Of deep concern is that Pakistan possesses, and has successfully tested nuclear weapons.  What will become of them if the government falls?
