In an emotional televised address Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has vowed to hunt down and defeat the militants who have been carrying out attacks like the Easter bombing that targeted Christians and killed 72 people."We will not allow them to play with the lives of the people of Pakistan," Sharif said on Monday. "This is our resolve. This is the resolve of the 200 million people of Pakistan."As the country began three days of mourning after Sunday's suicide bombing in the eastern city of Lahore in a park crowded with families, Sharif said the army would forge ahead with a military operation on extremist hideouts and police will go after what he called the "cowards" who carried out the attack.
