Islamabad, June 19, IRNA - Dubbing recent wave of killings as terror 
acts, Pakistan on Saturday decided to strengthen its network of 
intelligence agencies to effectively combat the menace. 
"I chaired a meeting on law and order and we felt that the working
agencies like CID and Special Branch be made more effective," Prime 
Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali told journalists here at the 
Parliament House. 
A well-conceived monitoring by the agencies, he was of the view, 
was vital to preempt any untoward incident. 
To a question, he said that military courts were not being 
established. However, he added that the anti-terrorist courts would be
made more effective. 
Jamali also said that the federating units had been directed to 
present their list of demands by July 1 so that increased allocations 
could be incorporated in the budget. 
It was decided that Punjab, which had better security system, 
would spare security personnel for Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP),
Sindh and Balochistan and impart training to their law-enforcement 
agencies, he added. 
In response to a question, he said that he was kept abreast of 
the ongoing operation in tribal areas. 
He said the strategy to ensure safety to the tri-border junction 
oining Balochistan, NWFP and Punjab) would be revamped shortly. There 
have been attacks on the gas pipelines at the junction in a year or 
so.
