| The United States Deputy Defence Secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, has accused Pakistan of turning a blind eye to Taliban activity in the campaign against terrorism. Mr Wolfowitz says Pakistan must help wrap-up Taliban elements, ahead of the Afghan elections scheduled for mid-year. Mr Wolfowitz says there is a view in Pakistan that the US is only concerned with Al Qaeda. In an interview with the Far Eastern Economic Review he said the Pakistani military is cooperating in the hunt for Al Qaeda, but it is not cooperating with getting the Taliban. He said that is now an issue because of the Afghan elections in June. He also said that after the US Government’s lenient response to Pakistani physicist Abdul Qadeer Khan’s admission to selling nuclear secrets, Pakistan was now indebted with what he said is clearly a kind of ’IOU’ and there must be a full accounting of everything that has happened. |
