Pakistan on Wednesday Feb 26,2014 unveiled its first ever counter-terrorism policy
after battling a homegrown Islamist insurgency for more than a decade,
announcing that every act of militant violence would be met with
retaliation on their bases.
Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan announced the "national security policy" before parliament a day after it was formally approved by the cabinet, ending years of waiting for a set of unified rules of engagement for terrorism.
The policy document is 100 pages long and is split into three parts, one of which would remain secret, Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said
The document designates the National Counter Terrorism Authority as the body that will deal with nationwide intelligence reports.
"We are establishing a rapid response force, which will be fully equiped with helicopters and latest technology to carry out counter terrorism operations," Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said
