Pakistan opposition leader: War on terror creating extremists

The man who aims to become Pakistan's next president, Imran Khan, claims the West's strategy has caused nothing but trouble for Pakistan in the last ten years. He told ITN's Mark Austin there has to be a political not military solution and that Iran had to be involved in any talks.

The West's policies in Pakistan are pushing the country's population toward extremism, says Imran Khan in this interview with Britain's ITN. To achieve a lasting peace, authorities need to talk to the Taliban, he says.

Khan is not only a powerful politician -- he also served as captain of the country's cricket team and was married to British celebrity Jemima Khan (née Goldsmith).
