<p>There is a high threat from terrorism and other violence throughout Pakistan, including
Karachi. The British Government regularly reviews the security situation in the country

have a mainly anti-state focus but also maintain, and have stated, an intent to launch
attacks on western interests. Although Al Qaeda is diminished in Pakistan and under
severe pressure, it is still capable of devising sophisticated attacks. Muttahida

Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism, in the interests of
both countries. We will continue to support Pakistan in developing its capacity to
deal with terrorism, and in addressing its root causes.</p><p> </p>
