Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto warns that if Waziristan is not properly dealt with it can lead to a wider war. Afghanistan’s foreign minister responds angrily to Musharraf’s latest charge that the Taliban is purely an Afghan problem. “The terrorism which is religious extremism is a global network operating against Afghanistan and other democratic states from Russia to India to America with the support of a country… Terrorism is not an ethnic issue.”
