Pakistan capable of destroying terrorists, their patrons: President

ISLAMABAD  –  President Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday warned the “il­legal and unrepresentative” Afghan Taliban regime that mistaking Pakistan’s patience, caution, and re­sponsible behavior for weakness would be a “grave folly,” stressing that Pakistan possessed the full ca­pacity to eliminate infiltrating terrorists and destroy their patrons. The president, in a statement, paid rich tribute to the security forces for successfully foiling an infiltration attempt by terrorists along the Pak-Af­ghan border in Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkh­wa, and commended the operational readiness and professional expertise of the security personnel, who eliminated 12 Khwarij terrorists and Afghan Taliban militants during the operation. He expressed deep grief over the martyrdom of Naib Subedar Hidayat Aman, who laid down his life in the line of duty while thwarting the cross-border infiltration attempt.
