Al Qaeda, Pak link to 75% of terror attacks in UK: Brown

"There is a chain of terror that comes from the Pakistani and Afghan mountains right across to Europe and can end up very easily on the streets of Britain,"

Its time for action, words are only words even though some prominent politicians are actually speaking the truth about Pakistan. We need to leverage something against Pakistan to force them to do something about islamic terrorism.

I think we need to leverage more Predator Drone attacks. Times of India

NEW DELHI: Over three-fourths of terrorist attacks investigated in the UK had Al Qaeda and Pakistan links, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
said during a whistlestop tour of India and Pakistan on Sunday. His comment became the latest blow to Pakistan which is trying hard to distance itself from the Mumbai attacks.

After meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to express solidarity with India in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, Brown, in a damning indictment of Pakistan, said, "The group responsible for the attacks is LeT and they have a great deal to answer for."

Brown later travelled to Islamabad and launched a $9 million counter-terrorism programme with Pakistan. He also asked the two countries to give British investigators permission to question terror suspects in both countries. [...]

In Islamabad, Brown talked tough and told President Asif Ali Zardari that Pakistan should stop providing safe haven to terrorists and needed to undertake more action.

Pakistan's isolation in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks is now almost complete, and the pressure on the cash-starved country is increasing every day. Brown did not mince words even in Afghanistan where he made an unscheduled stop. "There is a chain of terror that comes from the Pakistani and Afghan mountains right across to Europe and can end up very easily on the streets of Britain," he said.

In my experience, Pak Islamists are amongst the most vicious and most barbaric of their creed.
