ISLAMABAD -- In its eagerness to intensify its fight against domestic terrorism, the government of Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf has scored important gains recently.
Unnoticed to much of the outside world has been the arrests of some of Pakistan's most notorious terrorists, including those accused of multiple murders in the past five years. These successes have begun to take a bite out of hardline militant groups.
The most notorious group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, is badly crippled following the arrest and killing of some top leaders who had openly advocated violence against members of Pakistan's minority Muslim Shiite community.
