ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chaired a high-level meeting on Tuesday to review progress on the implementation of the National Action Plan for countering terrorism in the country.
During the meeting, PM Nawaz said those involved in the killing of security personnel and innocent people would be sentenced by the special trial courts. He added that the special courts were part of the anti-terrorism national action plan, and measures were required to tackle extraordinary problems.
Nawaz stressed the need for improving coordination between the federal and provincial governments and law enforcing agencies to deal with the problem of terrorist financing. He said the National Counter-Terrorism Authority (NACTA) should be pro-active in countering terrorism and clearly state the help it requires in undertaking its official obligations.
