The US has said it is in constant “conversation” with the Pakistani leadership on the threats posed by terror organisations like the Haqqani network operating in the region.
“There is a constant conversation that we are having with our Pakistani partners about the threat posed by Haqqani and other extremist groups in the region and certainly operating inside Pakistan,” State Department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at his daily news conference yesterday.
The dreaded Haqqani network, which is blamed for several deadly attacks against Indian interests in Afghanistan including the 2008 bombing of the Indian mission in Kabul that killed 58 people, has also carried out a number of kidnappings and attacks against US interests in Afghanistan, the Afghan government and other civilian targets.
Kirby said there is no difference between the Pentagon and the US State Department on this issue.
