Pakistani PM vows to fight terror

Pakistan's new Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gillani, has told parliament in Islamabad that his top priority will be the fight against terrorism.

Setting out plans for the first 100 days of his coalition government, he told MPs that "terrorism and extremism" were the country's "greatest problems".

The National Assembly endorsed him with a vote of confidence.

Mr Gillani is a member of the Pakistan People's Party, whose leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in December.
