ISLAMABAD, Dec. 09: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan is suffering the most in war against terrorism, adding that the terrorists are getting foreign support. "The international community should come forward and help Pakistan so that illegal flow of weapons into Pakistan could be stopped", he told a private TV channel Tuesday. Illegal flow of weapons into Pakistan and foreign financers of terrorists were main reason behind increasing terror incidents in the country, he said. The foreign minister went on to say: "We have taken up the issue with regard to foreign interference in Pakistan at every relevant forum". The terrorists have changed their modus operandi and now they are hitting soft targets and civilians, he said. Despite increasing terrorism incidents in different areas of the country, the morale of people of Pakistan is high, he added. The terrorists aim at creating anarchy but the government with the help of armed forces and the nation would not allow them to succeed in their nefarious designs, he said.Qureshi said that the security forces have to cordon off the area after an incident of terrorism because of fear of another attack.
