Pakistani lawmakers headed Wednesday to an unusual private briefing about their government's fight against terrorism, a subject that figured prominently in the second US presidential debate.
Pakistan's fledgling civilian government called a special session of parliament to seek consensus on how to stabilize this nuclear-armed Islamic republic, which is beset by serious economic problems as well as insecurity.
Pro-Western President Asif Ali Zardari has urged ordinary Pakistanis to recognize the danger that Taliban and al-Qaida-linked extremists pose to their country, especially since last month's suicide truck bombing of Islamabad's Marriott Hotel.
But many here blame their country's front-line role in the seven-year-old US-led war on terror for the bloodshed, arguing Pakistan should not be fighting "America's war."
