 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's president has called for popular support in combating terrorism and stopping foreign militants from using the country to recruit Muslim suicide bombers for attacks across the globe, state-run television reported Sunday.
Meeting criticism that his government is doing too little to stop Taliban and al-Qaida guerrillas from crossing into Afghanistan and other countries, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said militants from as far as Uzbekistan, Yemen and Libya are being trained in Pakistan for terrorist attacks.
"The suicide attacks are happening in the entire world and are happening in Pakistan," Musharraf said Saturday at a gathering of hundreds of people in Dera Ismail Khan, a city in the conservative North West Frontier Province neighboring Afghanistan, according to Pakistan TV.
