Gordon Brown British PM targets Pakistan terror link

Three-quarters of the most serious terror plots being investigated by UK authorities have links to Pakistan, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said.
He was unveiling a £6m ($8.9m) deal with Pakistan he called "the most comprehensive anti-terrorist programme" between the UK and another country.
He is in Pakistan meeting President Asif Ali Zardari, following talks with India's premier Manmohan Singh.

UK police want to quiz a Pakistani suspect in the Mumbai attacks.
They want to interview Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab - the sole gunman taken alive - about terror groups operating from Pakistan.

Mr Brown's series of meetings in the region came as Pakistan accused India of violating its airspace.
India has denied this but has announced a security overhaul. It blames Pakistan-based militants for the Mumbai attacks, which killed at least 170 people, including one Briton.
Mr Brown said he had wanted to express his condolence for the Mumbai attacks at first hand.

He said the "terrible terror outrages" had shocked the whole world and the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group, thought to be responsible, had "a great deal to answer for".

He added: "No country should have to go through what India has had to go through as a result of the Mumbai outrages.

"I've said to Prime Minister Singh we will give every help that we can. We will work together in tackling terrorism. And we will work together on issue of security. We also know that there have been arrests in Pakistan.
"We also know that the group responsible is LeT and that they have a great deal to answer for."

India has urged Pakistan to take action over the recent attacks.
Pakistan denies any involvement, but has promised to co-operate with the Indian investigation.
Mr Zardari has pledged to take "strong action" against terrorists, but has also called on India to share more information about the attacks.
Partnership plan
During a news conference in Islamabad with Mr Zardari, Mr Brown proposed the start of a new partnership with Pakistan to fight terrorism.

The "pact against terror" funding will go towards anti-car bomb equipment and material to educate people out of becoming extremists, he said.
"The time has come for action and not words, and I want to help Pakistan and other countries root out terrorism.

"In return for this action we will continue to expand our counter-terrorist assistance programme with Pakistan, and it will be more than ever, the most comprehensive anti-terrorist programme Britain has signed with any country."
Speaking during a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Saturday, Mr Brown said wherever there was terrorism, it had to be fought.

He described Pakistan's border region with the country, where he met troops fighting the Taleban, as one end of a "chain of terror" that could stretch to Britain if more was not done to tackle the threat of al-Qaeda.

The prime minister's visit to Afghanistan came a day after four Royal Marines were killed in two separate bomb attacks.
Mr Brown spoke of his "disgust and horror" at the willingness of the Taleban to use a 13-year-old child to deliver a bomb in a wheelbarrow to a Marine patrol, killing three men and the boy.

The PM is expected to update MPs on the security situation in Afghanistan in a statement to the House of Commons on Monday.

That Jinnah virus has left Pak in such a terrible state.Sometime I wonder , we do have lot of nice islamic countries like UAE etc however the Pakis are the ones who were Indians someday..how come its ben looked as hub of terrorism..??

[Dark2Dangerous]

Pakistan is NOT the epic centre of terrorism! Rather a grave victim of this hideous crime of terrorism. Has the world turned a blind eye that in 2009, 3000 innocent Pakistanis lost their lives to terrorist attacks? Pakistans army is on the frontline to combat terrorism and has lost more brave soldiers then NATO & US soldiers combined. Brown needs to focus on his cripple nation as ones most likely to be kicked to death by yobs then be a victim of a terrorist attack. Fucking Scottish fag!

Pakistan does not export terror!!! Why Pakistan is the center is because USA have intress in Pakistan, some years before Iraq and Afghanistan was the center. If u dont se the picture??!! say no more.Thats bullshit.. no one has made that statement.Muslims dont kill Muslims.

Islamic Terrorist State of Pakistan has been a failed state since its inception.

We need answers to the following questions..

Why Pakistani Islamic Terror is exported and used againt India,and other countries of the world.?

Why Pakistan is world centre of Islamic Terror and Jihad ?

Why Pakistan army leaders call Islamic Terror and Jihadi groups as an important Strategic Assets.?

smelly indian shithead. Go and dance bundywood style on the street loool

[smarty312]

Now rest is history,even govt and ppl of India wants democracy to be established there bt unfortunately some separatists and agencies across border dont want dat to happen

and the ultimate loosers are ppl of Kashmir. India and Pak both wont release Kashmir..and personally I dnt support Kashmir(or any part) moving out of India,

so now we have to think abt the betterment of that region and d people.The biggest culpurits are d people like Masood Azhar.

[smarty312]

There hv been hell lot of injustice with them(Pandits) as well.And as I knw..people living in POK also are not that much happy vth ur govt.The Kashmir problem dont have all to do vth Islam..as their are other areas as well in India where u can see majority of Misulim population but thats bec Pak also have also played a major role in destablizing Kashmir.
