| Clinton vows US support for Pak on anti-terrorism |
| 2009-03-08 |
| Expressing solidarity with the Pakistani people in their anti-terrorism struggle, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged the Barack Obama administration's continued support for the country against Â"encroachment of terrorist networks.Â" Â"The threat of terrorism is one that every nation and every group of people has to contend with. The recent attack in Lahore against the Sri Lankan cricket team was just another senseless, violent act that took innocent (Pakistani) lives. Â"We can go and look at how so many of the countries represented here, including of course my own, have been affected by terrorists using new techniques and taking advantage of global networks in order to wreak havoc,Â" she told a group of young European leaders in Brussels, according to a transcript released here by the State Department. The chief U.S. diplomat added, Â"We are engaged in the Obama Administration in a policy review of our approach to Afghanistan-Pakistan, because we see them together. We want to help support the people of those two countries against the encroachment of terrorist networks.Â" Clinton claimed that much of the planning for terrorist activities come from border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan but at the same time acknowledged the stiffness of the challenge in combating them. The border areas, she said, Â"Are very difficult for either the Government of Pakistan or Afghanistan or any of our military forces to be able to reach.Â" The United States, she said, is Â"working closely with not only the European Union, but many individual countries and multilateral institutionsÂ" in addressing the menace of terrorism. |
