Musharraf issues warning to West

President Pervez Musharraf has said that Pakistan's success in fighting terrorism is critical and any failure could impact on the West.

In an address to a British think tank, he called for support and encouragement not "criticisms and insinuations".

He outlined his strategy for defeating al-Qaeda and the Taleban, and securing Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.

The president reiterated that delayed elections now due next month would be "free, fair, transparent and peaceful".

In his speech to the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, he said: "I would ask anyone to give me how [the polls] can be rigged, and if anyone gives me any suggestion, I would be too glad to pass it onto the chief election commissioner for implementation."
