The meeting is being attended by army chief General Raheel Sharif, Chief of General Staff Lt. General Ashfaq Nadeem as well ministers of interior and other senior officials.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is chairing the high-level security meeting to discuss the government's response to the recent terrorist attack at Karachi airport, officials here have confirmed to The Express Tribune.

The civil and military leadership huddle comes amid growing criticism against the government's lack of response to continued terrorist attacks by the militants.

The meeting is likely to evolve a new strategy in view of the growing incidents of terrorist attacks.

@Get Serious: Sorry Sir, you forgot to mention asking for help from the USA marines to assist Pakistan army in fighting asymetric war in Pakistan cities; they have quite an experience with the Talibans.

Be methodical:

1) Secure borders - have a program to (humanely) repatriate all illegal aliens (there are approximately 5 million in Pakistan)

2) Identify who has illegal Pakistani passports and ID cards

3) Build national consensus - if decision taken by parliament to go in, all parties (including IK and JI) need to back the troops 110%

4) Politicians have to start building our troops morale - start vising bases in the mountains, support the troops

5) Lets take down political flags and start flying Pakistani flags

6) Have comprehensive de weaponisation

7) Go back to Qaid's vision of Pakistan
