US backs Pakistan’s terror war policies -DAWN - Top Stories; December 12, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Dec 11: US Deputy Secretary of State John D. Negroponte said here on Thursday his country fully supported Pakistan’s ‘war on terror’ policies.
In his meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, he said if Pakistan and India did not act sagaciously to contain the fallout from the Mumbai carnage, peace of the whole region would be affected.
President Zardari assured the US government that Pakistan would not allow anyone to use its land against any country. “We will not allow the use of our territory for launching terror attacks against any country,” he said.
He said Pakistan had assured full cooperation to India in investigating the Mumbai attacks. “The government is determined to take strict action against anyone found involved in terror attacks anywhere in the world from Pakistan,” he added.
In a separate meeting with the US delegation, Prime Minister Gilani said Pakistan had taken note of designation of certain individuals and entities by the UN Security Council and would fulfil its international obligations.
