Jeremy Thompson

Over three days, Sky News will explore why Pakistan has become the frontline of terror and ask what the West can do about it. Jeremy Thompson will present live from the capital Islamabad, interviewing key figures across the community.

Pakistan is a nuclear-armed state whose government has a fragile grip on power. With much of its territory is in the hands of extremists, it is a crucible for terrorism.

Recent months have seen the evidence: at home with the bloody attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team; abroad with the slaughter in Mumbai. Here in Britain too there are strong Pakistani links with our home grown terrorists.

Over three days, Sky News will explore why Pakistan has become the frontline of terror and ask what the West can do about it. Jeremy Thompson will present live from the capital Islamabad, interviewing key figures across the community.

Correspondents Alex Crawford and Stuart Ramsay will report from around the country, including the tribal Swat Valley, a safe haven for the terrorist which is beyond the control of central government.

Back in the UK, Sky’s Home Affairs Correspondent Mark White will examine Britain’s unique relationship with Pakistan, while Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall will present a live debate on a nation which, as Foreign Secretary David Milliband has warned, is facing a “mortal threat” from internal militancy.

With the Pakistani government seemingly losing the battle against extremism, Sky News will investigate ‘Terror’s Frontline’ and the threat it poses to world security.
