Pakistan President Reveals Moonlit Beach Patrols

PARIS (Reuters) - Determined to rid Pakistan of an image for lawlessness, President Pervez Musharraf told would-be investors on Thursday he was making an anonymous contribution of his own to upholding public order.

"I roam about the beaches of Karachi at night, incognito I mean, just to see," he told a conference of French business executives in Paris.
"There is no law and order problem in Pakistan. That is in the past now," he added, noting that its crime rates bore comparison with those of U.S. cities such as Los Angeles.

The restive port city of Karachi is home to Pakistan's stock exchange.
Hundreds of people have been killed in religious, ethnic and political violence in Karachi in recent years. Beside Muslim sectarian violence, Karachi has seen attacks on both Christian and Western targets in the past year.

The attacks have been blamed on Islamic militants angry at Pakistan's support for the U.S.-led war on terror.
