Lahore, June 2 : US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has reportedly said that the frontier areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan were the ‘most pressing points’ where the US must win its war on terror.

According to a BBC report, Chertoff said that successes against Al Qaeda (in Iraq) should not lead to a weakening of the resolve (to win the war on terror in these two areas).

Addressing Oxford University students during his visit to the UK, Chertoff said that extremists had “hijacked the language of Islam to mask an ideology that in some respects has more in common with the fascist organisations of the 1930s”.

On the occasion, he also questioned if Pakistan’s rulers had the right strategy to respond, the report said.
