Perv: Anti-terror drive will continue
President General Pervez Musharraf on Thursday reiterated his determination to counter subversive actions by foreign saboteurs and their local facilitators. "We shall not allow these terrorists to hold our society hostage to their malicious agendas," the president said while chairing an important meeting of corps commanders at General Headquarters. "Pakistan will not be deterred by sporadic terrorist activities aimed at tarnishing its image and sabotaging domestic peace," the president said.

He appreciated the security forces combating terrorism in challenging environments of the tribal areas with exemplary courage and devotion. He paid rich tribute to the bravery of officers "who laid down their lives for the nation's benefit". The president also appreciated the role of other law enforcement and intelligence agencies that have nabbed top terrorists and broken networks, a press release issued by Inter Services Public Relations said. He said Pakistan was a responsible country and would continue to play a role in eradicating global terrorism. He called the recent kidnapping of two Chinese engineers unfortunate but said that couldn't affect Pakistan-China relations and attempts to disrupt development projects would be foiled.
