Musharraf calls for war against extremism
Pakistan President Pervez Musha-rraf, whose country is back in the spotlight since the London bombings, has urged a "jihad" against extremism and called on Pakistanis to reject terror.
As new closed-circuit videotape showed three of the four suspected attackers had been in Pakistan, Musharraf moved to shift some of the focus away from his country by reiterating his condemnation of all forms of terrorism.
"Terrorism in the name of Islam -- launching bomb attacks in London in the name of Islam -- is not Islam," said Musharraf.
