Pakistan's Zardari Cancels Trip To Iran
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has cancelled a planned trip to Iran next Tuesday, prompting speculation that he is responding to rapidly-mounting criticism of his long absence from the country just when his presence is needed the most.
His latest trip out of the country — now almost three weeks long — has taken place just as the Army unleashed a war against Taliban militants in the northern Swat valley, displacing at least 1.5 million people.
Zardari's critics have used his absence during the growing security and humanitarian crisis in their attacks on him, writes CBS News' Farhan Bokhari.
