  • British PM David Cameron called on for fresh start to UK-Pak relations during his visit to Islamabad. He said that tensions and strife of the past should not be hindrance to future efforts of improving relations. The relations between two countries were strained post Cameron’s visit to India last year where he accused that elements within Pakistan are responsible for export of terrorism.1

    Reports noted that three more accused have been identified in the Benazir Bhutto murder case. The three accused are not included in the other 15 accused in this case, which include former president, Pervez Musharraf. The names of the accused are being kept confidential, however, DIG Police Bin Yamin, has separately briefed the matter to President Asif Zardari and Federal Interior Minister, Rehman Malik.2

    In other developments, in a report sent to the US Congress, the Whitehouse has stated that Pakistan’s fight against terrorism is unorganized and lacks a clear path to achieve the goal. The report regrets lack of sustained strategy to fight insurgency and render the area militant free is a clear indicator of serious shortfalls in Pakistan army’s capabilities.3
