Pakistani security personnel, some wearing anti-riot helmets, stand guard near the venue of a meeting between visiting U.S. President Bill Clinton and Pakistani leaders in Islamabad March 25, just hours before Clinton's historic visit to Pakistan. Security is tight in the capital with over 3,000 troops in place for Clinton's visit which will last for just several hours before he leaves South Asia after a six-day tour which included Bangladesh and India.
