Pakistan ramps up security for Champions Trophy cricket tournament
Pakistan has deployed thousands of police officers and ramped up security to prepare for the Champions Trophy cricket tournament, which kicks off on Wednesday (Feb 19). The country has not hosted an event of this scale in almost 30 years. And experts say success - amid continued security concerns - will go a long way in lifting Pakistan's global image. Hira Mustafa reports from Rawalpindi, one of the three host cities.
