Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday described the suicide attack that killed 14 people in Karachi, including 11 French nationals, as an attempt to drive a wedge between Pakistan and France.
Musharraf, who was addressing a meeting of his security chiefs, said Pakistan was being subjected to a systematic terrorist campaign.
"The president strongly condemned the dastardly act and said Pakistan is being subjected to a systematic campaign of killing for its bold and courageous stand against international terrorism," said an official statement released after Musharraf met his security and intelligence advisors.
"The president termed this a conspiracy against the country and the nation," the statement added.
