In a statement he said that the worst threat Pakistan confronted was terrorism. "It is surely a matter of great concern that a government which is run exclusively by the Army is so helpless before the terrorists''. Mr. Khattak said long conferences like the one chaired by Gen. Musharraf in Islamabad last week, having an anti-terrorist cell and spending billions on forensic laboratories would not solve the immediate issue of terrorism. ``The formation of an anti-terrorist cell is just not the answer. The wherewithal to fight the current spate of terrorism is entirely available and to seek refuge in lame excuses amounts to running away from the problem at hand. The Intelligence Bureau needs to be restored to its pre-November 1996 condition and put back on track as far as its restructuring, service structure and deployment are concerned,'' he said. Mr. Khattak claimed that the second PPP government had revamped and rejuvenated the Bureau. The Bureau then took up the challenge and spearheaded the drive to restore peace to Karachi that had seen nothing but bloodshed from1983-95.
