Zardari arrives in UK today

The British Prime Minister at his monthly press conference earlier this week had spoken about new strategy to meet the growing Taliban threat.

US President’s statement followed an unprecedented US helicopter-borne commando assault on a village inside Pakistan earlier this month resulting in deaths of some 20 persons including women and children.

Pakistan’s leaders have pledged to defend their national territory if US launches further cross-border attacks. Officials at the Pakistan High Commission said President Zardari would urge the British leadership to use its influence and ask US to stop further such attacks.
