Pakistan claims al-Qaeda command destroyed

FT reported General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's military ruler, claims that the command and control system of al-Qaeda in his country has been destroyed, excluding any possibility that the terrorist network could have carried out this month's bombings in London and Egypt.

We appreciate the work that Musharraf has done, but I dont think he is right that their command has been completely destroyed
In comments that British officials will view with scepticism, Gen Musharraf said al-Qaeda's sanctuaries in the northern tribal region bordering Afghanistan had been destroyed and 700 fighters captured. However, Egyptian authorities on Monday said they were investigating possible Pakistani militant suspects in connection with the bombing early on Saturday at Egypt's Sharm el Sheikh resort. Meanwhile, in London British officials have expressed growing frustration with the Pakistani security service's inability to crack down on militants or keep a comprehensive register of madrassahs.
That is true. Until the madrassahs have been shut down, more AlQaeda types will continue to be created
Three of the four suicide bombers who killed 56 people in London on July 7 were Britons of Pakistani origin.
