A video version of Pakistan's controversial print advertisement that touted its role in the war against terrorist groups has emerged on the Internet. To view a copy of the print ad, see Threat Matrix report, Pakistan places ad in US paper touting efforts against al Qaeda.

Meanwhile, the US continues its three-year-long quest to pressure the Pakistani military to move against terrorist groups in North Waziristan, including the Haqqani Network, which shelters al Qaeda and conducts attacks against US, NATO, and Afghan forces and civilians. Pakistan has skillfully resisted repeated American pleas, despite the fact that the same terrorist groups based in North Waziristan (and elsewhere in Pakistan) also strike its own people.
