Musharraf: Election for democracy and peace
BEIJING, Jan. 26 -- Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has arrived in Britain. He's there to convince the UK's large Pakistani community and its government that he is the best hope for restoring democracy and peace back home. Musharraf's visit to London is the final stop of his whirlwind European tour.

Addressing a packed audience at the Royal United Services Institute, Musharraf spent 30 minutes explaining recent Pakistani history, his battle against militants, and plans for free and fair national elections to take place next month.



Meanwhile in Pakistan, the army says helicopter gun-ships and artillery have pounded Taliban hide-outs on the border, killing up to 30 suspected rebels.

Fighting broke out after militants captured four trucks carrying supplies and ammunition for the paramilitary Frontier Corps and refused to return them.
