Pakistan Still Magnet for Would-be Terrorists

Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek | May 10, 2010

"For a wannabe terrorist shopping for help, Pakistan is a supermarket." ++ The government has supported Jihadi groups and provided an atmosphere in which aspiring terrorists like Faisal Shahzad can pursue their ambitions largely uninhibited. ++ Pakistan will continue to be a magnet for such activity unless the Pakistani military “truly takes on a more holistic view of the country's national interests—one that sees economic development, not strategic gamesmanship against Afghanistan and India, as the key to Pakistan's security.”
