Pakistan must act

Once again Pakistan grieves the death and injury resulting from a terrorist attack. The ordinary people of Pakistan are victims of terror inspired by religious radicalism. The deaths of over 60 people, most of them young police recruits, ought to compel Pakistan to respond and target known and suspected terrorist and extremist organisations. The counter-attack should paralyse terror outfits so that they are unable to mount complex operations. Pakistan should starve them of cash, taking down their bases and exposing their activities.
