Pakistan stepped up security at all of its major airports Sunday after receiving reports about possible terror attacks, a day before the nation’s exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was to return home, officials said.The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the issue, did not explain whether they had received any specific terror report, although they said they would not allow any public gathering near the airports.
The moves come days before exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has a residence in Rawalpindi, is expected to return to the country.
Meanwhile, Lebanese and Saudi officials have urged Mr Sharif to honour a deal not to return to Pakistan until 2010.
Mr Sharif, leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) party, insisted he would return home on Monday despite the Arab leaders’ appeals.
