News Reports

• SHAPE NEWS MORNING UPDATE 03 Jul 2002-- U.S. offers plan to avert UN Bosnia mission shutdown
• PAKISTAN'S FIGHT AGIANST TERRORISM VOA 03 Jul 2002-- Pakistan is stepping up its efforts against terrorists. Hundreds of troops are now scouring the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan for al-Qaida fighters who escaped from Afghanistan. Ten Pakistani soldiers were killed when they approached an al-Qaida hideout and were ambushed. President Pervez Musharraf says he will not allow Pakistan to be used as a base for terrorist activity. Police have begun a "Most Wanted" terrorist campaign and are offering rewards for information. They are also mounting raids in response to recent terrorist attacks such as the bombing at the U-S consulate. Critics, however, complain that far more can be done. Is Pakistan doing enough? I'll ask my guests, Husain Haqqani, a Pakistan journalist who is a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace; Teresita Schaffer, director of the South Asia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; and Marin Strmecki, former congressional staff member and Defense Department official
