Zardari: We Underestimated Taliban Threat
(NSI News Source Info) February 14, 2009: (CBS) Pakistan's new president, Asif Ali Zardari, says his nuclear-armed government is in a battle to survive against the growing threat of the Taliban, which his country failed to take strong action against earlier.
Now the Muslim militant group has extended its presence from the tribal borderlands inland to larger cities, Zardari tells 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft in an interview to be broadcast this Sunday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. "[The Taliban] do have a presence in huge amounts of land in our side. Yes, that is the fact," says Zardari.
