Pakistan's parliament was given a confidential briefing by the army yesterday in an attempt to forge a consensus on a "homegrown" anti-terror policy for the first time. The unprecedented briefing, by the new military spy chief, was a response to the widespread view that Pakistan is fighting "America's war", and it provided an opportunity for MPs to take control of national security for the first time.

According to reports emerging last night about the briefing, the head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, Lieutenant-General Ahmad Shujaa Pasha, admitted that past peace deals with militant groups had failed.
