Pakistan Sincere in Anti-Terror Cooperation: US

WASHINGTON: The United States Wednesday voiced its full confidence in Pakistan’s anti terrorism resolve, saying the civilian government and the military working under it are committed to cooperation in investigation into last month’s Mumbai attacks.

“I think the Pakistani government has been very sincere. They are on the frontlines of (fighting) terrorism, as we have said many times before,”State Department spokesman Robert Wood said at the daily briefing when asked if Islamabad is being sincere in extending anti?terrorism cooperation.

Washington, he stated, has no reason to doubt Pakistan’s commitment to get to the bottom of the investigation into the incident, that has renewed tensions between the two South Asian nuclear powers after they saw improvement in bilateral ties over the last several years.

Wood’s comments came as Islamabad pressed New Delhi on furnishing evidence to substantiate allegations of any Pakistani link to the attacks in the Indian financial capital. Pakistan has moved against militant organizations banned by a UN Security Council panel since the late November incident. The United States has been urging restraint and cooperation by the two neighbors to investigate the incident.
