US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, addressing the US Foreign Affairs Committee, had harsh words for Pakistan Wednesday 22 April, accusing the country of allowing terrorists to manage parts of the country, a reference to the recent agreement to allow Sharia law in the Swat Valley, a popular resort area, a demand made by Taliban groups. She called on expatriates and Pakistan’s population to stand up to the “exitential threat” posed by “a loosely confederated group of terrorists and others who are seeking the overthrow of the Pakistani state, a nuclear-armed state.” BBC, CNN
