Pact targets Pakistan terror link

While unveiling a £6m ($8.9m) deal with Pakistan he calls "the most comprehensive anti-terrorist program" between the UK and another country, Gordon Brown has proclaimed three-quarters of the most serious terror plots being investigated by UK authorities have links to Pakistan. Gordon, who is currently in Pakistan meeting President Asif Ali Zardari, was in India in talks with premier Manmohan Singh. UK police would like to question Pakistani suspect, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, in the Mumbai attacks, about terror groups operating from Pakistan. Mr Brown's series of meetings in the region came as Pakistan accused India of violating its airspace, which India has denied, but has concedes to a security overhaul blaming Pakistan-based militants for the Mumbai attacks.

Such cooperation can go a long way in resolving the problem, hopefully, military support will be accompanied by aid towards social development too.

I agree Syed, and of all the countries in the world, considering the mess Britain left Pakistan and India, I love that it's Britain in this pact.
