Bring Mumbai attack culprits to justice, US tells Pakistan |
The United States has asked Pakistan to bring the culprits
of the November 2008 Mumbai massacre to justice as soon as possible, adding that
it would always encourage talks between India and Pakistan to ensure peace in
the region. "We certainly have encouraged and continue to encourage Pakistan to
fully investigate the Mumbai attacks, and even more importantly, bring those responsible
before their judicial system," Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs
Philip Crowley said. Interacting with media persons during a regular briefing
at the State Department, Crowley said Washington was concerned over the present
scenario in South Asia and wants to help the countries to thwart the terror threat.
"We have a strategic relationship that is emerging with India. We have a vitally
important relationship with Pakistan, are working hard to help Pakistan address
the issue of extremism within its borders, and we are likewise very concerned
about the cross-border activity between Pakistan and Afghanistan," The Nation
quoted Crowley, as saying. He said the Obama Administration recognizes the importance
of peaceful relations between India and Pakistan, and it would continue to encourage
all the stake holders (India, Pakistan and Afghanistan) to work together to address
the problems facing the region. "We recognize the vital importance of a stable
relationship between Pakistan and India, and we continue to encourage all of these
countries to work constructively together," Crowley added. |
