And revolt means that it would be very much different from the previous strategy like isolated suicide attacks. Revolt means they would build a surge, a serious surge in Pakistan...

Al-Qaeda today is very much restructured. Compared to 2006, it has very much restructured. They have formed committees... like military committee, like the religious committee, like coordination committees.

And they have established independent cells all over the Pakistani cities. And each cell doesn't know the whereabouts and the nature of other cells..."

Anja Reschke: "They are talking about holy war. They see themselves as martyrs. For them, other religions are heresy. You will probably think it's about radical Islamists. No, this time we are talking about radical Christians.

"There are several millions of these fanatic fundamentalists in the U. S. A.. Thanks to them George Bush became the president. But the activities of these Christian fanatics aren't limited just to the U. S.. They want to convert the whole world to Christianity.

Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto has been an iconic figure in Pakistan's politics for decades - and had been carrying on a family legacy that has had a lasting impact on modern day Pakistan. Nick Clark takes a look at the life of the charismatic leader, who's death has shocked a nation and all peace-loving people of the world.

"If it means sacrificing our lives, if it means sacrificing our liberty to save Pakistan, then we are prepared to risk our lives and we are prepared to risk our liberty. But we are not prepared to sacrifice our great nation to the militants."

"Military rule is the cause of anarciac situation in Pakistan. Military rule is not the solution. Extremism thrives under dictatorship."

Bush has made Pakistan a major ally, yet the country is governed by a military dictatorship that controls only the eastern part of the country. The western part of the country is controlled by Islamic thugs and stone-age tribal chieftain who totally support Taliban and Al Qaeda. Also, the Pakistani ISI intelligence service has launched many, many terrorist bombings targeting innocent civilians in neighboring India. To this bad lot, Benazir Bhutto sought to bring a new way of life.

That's more than the size of the population of the United States... This market began it's phenomenal growth back in 1991 when India liberalized it's economy."
