Musharraf to revamp Pakistan's police system

K J M Varma in Islabad

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has decided to revamp the police, judicial and intelligence networks to check the recurrence of terrorist and subversive acts.

The president -- outraged at the March 17 attack on a church in Islamabad and the continuing sectarian violence in the country -- outlined his plans at a meeting of law and order officials on Tuesday.

"The president categorically told the meeting that no more violence and terrorism is acceptable and if it happens in future, concerned officials will be taken to task," defence spokesman Major General Rashid Qureshi said.

"People are sick of violence and terrorism and if the personnel of the police, rangers and other paramilitary forces do not perform well, they will be sacked from their services," Qureshi quoted Musharraf as saying.
