Govt wants minimum bloodshed: Zardari
Reaffirming Pakistan's resolve to defeat the Taliban, President Asif Ali Zardari said on Sunday every effort would be made to keep civilian losses to a minimum while fighting extremism. "We don't want to make one million dead," he said, citing the killings that occurred during anti-terror operations in Algiers and Afghanistan, among other countries. He told a large gathering of Pakistani-Americans at a local hotel Al Qaeda was like a monster and eliminating it needed international efforts. Posted by: Fred 2009-05-12 |
