...vulnerability of the law-enforcement facilities to Thursday's attacks has yet again highlighted Pakistan's poor counterterrorism capabilities. While authorities were able to mount a swift and eventually successful response - and insist that preventing attacks by fighters ready to die is nearly impossible - the militants' ability to penetrate such high-profile targets in major cities will inspire little confidence.
