He said that the whole nation stand firm against terrorism and Pakistan had no place for those who defame Islam.
He said that inter-provincial intelligence should be enhanced and provincial coordination was needed to bar militants from entering their places.
The security forces launched operations against Taliban militants late April after they refused to vacate the Buner district neighboring the Swat district of the NWFP as promised and challenged the writ of the government.
