French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Tuesday that Europe was determined to fight the kind of extremism that killed Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, AFP reported.

“She was assassinated by an extremism that we, France and the European Union, have decided to fight,” Kouchner told reporters on his arrival in Islamabad for a two-day visit, the report added.

“It would not be surprising that it was Islamist terrorism since I know that it makes its bed in the tribal zone” of Pakistan, Kouchner said, replying to a question.
