| President General Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday told top army commanders that Pakistan would destroy any hideout used by militants it finds on its territory. “Any hideout/sanctuary being used by terrorists/miscreants shall be knocked out wherever it is found,” ISPR quoted the president as saying at the 100th Corps Commanders Conference at General Headquarters. The ISPR said the participants decided that the political process in FATA to control extremism and terrorism would continue, but “we shall not allow any illegal cross border activity or any terrorist to take refuge in our area, which shall be dealt with by direct military action”. |
