DAVOS, Switzerland: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif says his country is increasingly determined to fight extremism after a university attack by Islamic militants that killed 21.
Sharif, speaking Thursday in the Swiss resort of Davos, said, the country’s resolve to fight against these elements is “getting stronger every day.”
He said the attack was the result of “blowback” after Pakistani authorities’ efforts to dismantle extremists’ infrastructure and hide-outs.
Even as his country mourned the students killed at Bacha Khan university in the town of Charsadda, Sharif insisted that the extremists’ “ability to strike back has been considerably destroyed.” The terrorists are “on the run,” he insisted.
Sharif was speaking at a debate moderated by The Associated Press at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
