Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit on Sunday rejected US allegations that terrorists involved in attacks on the US and India were living in Pakistan, calling the claim baseless, a private TV channel reported. Reacting to a statement by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the perpetrators of 9/11 attacks in the US and the Mumbai attacks were in Pakistan, the spokesman said the culprits were in Afghanistan, not Pakistan.
| Really? And how does the spokesman know that, pray tell? |
Talking to media in New Delhi, Clinton had asked Pakistan to act against the culprits of the Mumbai attacks, adding that terrorism was a major problem which threatened global peace.
| Not to mention Pakistan's continuing viability as a nation. |
