President General Pervez Musharraf has admitted that al-Qaeda is present in Pakistan but said any major military operation against its elements may cause casualties to civilian population. "Al-Qaeda, yes indeed they are here. I have stated thousand times they are here. When I said they are not here? Al-qaeda is in our mountains, in Mir Ali." "This is completely true," he told "Aaj" television in an interview to be aired on Friday night. He said, "They are in the area and that is what we are to deal with them." How to deal with them?. There are cities. Whether we surround them? Whether we bomb them? Bullets will be fired, air force will be used, and thousands civilians will lose life. Should we do that? No sir, this is not the way. So therefore it is more an intelligence operation. The President said the phenomenon of militancy and extremism was on the rise in the country. "There is an increase of extremism and militancy in the country. We have to counter it. We have to face it."
