Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari Bhutto's widower wins Pakistan election ...
Zardari seems sure of victory in Pakistan presidential election ...
Time running out for Pakistan President ... has said he will not allow Pakistan's territory to be violated by terrorists or foreign powers fighting them.
Newly elected Mr Zardari vowed, however, to "root out terrorism and extremism wherever and whenever they may rear their ugly heads".
This was his first speech to MPs since he replaced Pervez Musharraf in August.
Pakistan has been a key ally of the US in its "war on terror", but relations have become strained over tactics.
"I ask of the government that it should be firm in its resolve to not allow the use of its soil for carrying out terrorist activities against any foreign country," he said in his first speech to parliament since being elected.
"We will not tolerate the violation of our sovereignty and territorial integrity by any power in the name of combating terrorism."
