Surrender or die, terrorists warned dailytimes.com.pk I challenge if anyone can produce press of any Islamic nation that carries on its front leading news item like I reproduced above. Instead of sick repetitive pictures of some bunch of few sick soldiers responsible for gruesome abuse or other ritualistic condemnation of USA by liberals, leftists and rightists ideologues; these guys have gone on tangent, we are focussed, our paper today, and our President today! Show me one Islamic country with this kind of challenge to Alqaeda the one yesterday <Musharraf vows to eliminate al-Qaeda> and the one today 'surrender or die' this is the language these guys understand and are use too, we have not lost the focus, The war on terror is for the world and very privilege people are fighting it on the forefront, those who are sitting on the fences finding excuses are appeasers, they don't count. Surrender or die, terrorists warned * President Musharraf chairs meeting on tribal areas * Decides to take stern action against those harbouring foreign militants ISLAMABAD: A meeting chaired by President General Pervez Musharraf on Friday decided to take stern action against those harbouring foreign elements in the tribal areas, our correspondent reported.

Mr Kasuri said ....... the law in Pakistan was supreme and it would take its course For Kasuri, Pakistan's foreign minister to make this statement is a joke! Pakistan's supreme court issued an order about a week ago, that the opposition leader, Shahbaz Sharif, who the Guardian stated "was emerging as Mr Musharraf's main political rival" should be allowed to enter the country. Nonetheless, Musharraf had him deported promptly after he landed in violation of the supreme court order. According to the Guardian: Shahbaz Sharif, the brother of the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, arrived in Pakistan yesterday afternoon on a flight from London, via Abu Dhabi. He kissed the ground, declared love for his country and was then led away by the security forces. An empty Pakistan International Airlines flight was waiting to take him to exile in Saudi Arabia. Outside the airport, thousands of protesters battled with the police, and roads to the airport were blocked to stop thousands more from arriving. The supreme court ruled recently that Shahbaz should be allowed to return to the country, but that he could be arrested on arrival for any outstanding crimes. The Pakistani information minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, said last night that the supreme court ruling that Shahbaz should be allowed to return was simply "advice", implying that it was not binding on the government. He added that he was sorry that Pakistani officials had been unable to show Shahbaz "around town". Perhaps it is time that your country's foreign minister informs the information minister "that the law in Pakistan was supreme" and it should take its course? guardian.co.uk
