ISLAMABAD, Aug 13: PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto has said that President Gen Pervez Musharraf is not doing enough to wipe out terrorist groups and that the country needs to do more.

Ms Bhutto, who has insisted that the president must resign his second role as head of the military, said Pakistan should be working harder with Nato and the United States to eliminate militants.

“Whether General Musharraf is colluding in what is happening, or whether he is ineffective in dealing with it ... the net result is the same,” she said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

“The military regime needs the threat of Al Qaeda and the militants to justify military rule, to justify derailment of democracy ... and also because it brings the (aid) money in,” she said.

“You see, if there is no threat, there is no money.” —AFP
