Pakistan leader says militants could exploit flood (AP)

August 19th, 2010

Flood survivors negotiate a flooded road at Muzaffargarh, in central Pakistan on Thursday, Aug. 19, 2010. The floods have affected 20 million people and about one-fifth of Pakistan's territory, straining its civilian government as it struggles against al-Qaida and Taliban violence. Aid groups and the United Nations have complained foreign donors have not been quick or generous enough given the scale of the disaster. (AP Photo/Khalid Tanveer)AP - Islamist terrorists may exploit the chaos and misery caused by the floods in Pakistan to gain new recruits, the country’s president warned Thursday — remarks echoed by a leading U.S. senator who said America would stand by its vital wartime ally during the crisis.
