Zardari to confront Cameron on terror claim


Ahead of his visit to UK, President Asif Ali Zardari said he intended to confront David Cameron on his stinging remarks about Pakistan's support for terror as the British Prime Minister insisted that he did not regret his comments.

"The war against terrorism must unite us and not divide us," Zardari told the French newspaper 'Le Monde' after meeting top French leaders, including President Nicolas Sarkozy, before leaving for London where he will meet Cameron.

"I will explain face-to-face that it is my country that is paying the highest price for war against terror," Zardari, who is facing flak back home for embarking on a foreign tour, said of his meeting with British Prime Minister on Friday.

But Cameron remained unrelenting insisting that he did not regret his comments.

As the issue continued to cloud Zardari's visit to Britain, Cameron said he had given "a pretty clear and frank answer" to a straight question while on a visit to India last week.
