Musharraf vows to stop militants in Kashmir

I'll believe it when he shoots Hafiz Saeed on national terriblevision...
President Pervez Musharraf pledged on Wednesday to curb attacks by militants in Kashmir to promote the peace process with India and forge a solution to the territorial dispute in the Himalayas. President Musharraf, on the last day of his visit to the Philippines, said Islamabad had made ending the decades-old dispute over Kashmir a priority of five key programmes to market Pakistan as an investment haven in South Asia. "We need to resolve this issue once and for all in a flexible manner," President Musharraf told a forum for foreign media in Manila. "The time of conflict management is over. It has to be conflict resolution. We must resolve this now or never."

President Musharraf said Pakistan would stop militants from attacking bus services across the ceasefire line in Kashmir, and urged more confidence-building measures to move the peace process forward. He said acts of terrorism, like an attack on the recently resumed bus service, "must be suppressed at all cost". President Musharraf said he wanted to correct misconceptions about Pakistan, rejecting accusations that Islamabad coddles militants and helped organise Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network.
