Pakistani paramilitary soldiers ride at the back of a truck as they patrol along a street of Hyderabad, 23 August 2005, days before the second phase of the country's local government elections. Security across the constituencies have been beefed up for the second phase of the elections as around half of Pakistan's 63-million-strong electorate was eligible to vote in the first phase on 18 August and the other half are expected to cast their ballots in the second phase of voting on 25 August. Pakistani opposition parties accused President Pervez Musharraf's government of rigging in the first phase of local elections, which were seen as a test of the military ruler's fight against Islamic hardliners.
