A security guard of an election candidate sits outside a campaigning office a day before general elections in Pakistan's tribal town of Bannu February 17, 2008. Pakistani opposition politicians said on Sunday the government planned to rig the vote in general elections on Monday that could bring in a parliament keen to force President Pervez Musharraf from power. Fears of militant violence have overshadowed the campaign and are expected to result in a low turnout. REUTERS/Adeel Khan (PAKISTAN)
