The US has said it expects Pakistan to act in bringing to justice the perpetrators of the Pathankot attack and asked Islamabad to live up to its pledge that it will not “discriminate” among terror groups.
“The government of Pakistan has spoken very powerfully to this and it’s certainly our expectation that they’ll treat this exactly the way they’ve said they would,” state department spokesman John Kirby said Monday on the attack by Pakistani terrorists on the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot.
Mr Kirby’s remarks came hours after Pakistan said it is working on the “leads” provided by India on this attack.
Mr Kirby said the US has for a long time talked about the continued safe haven issues there between Afghanistan and Pakistan and certainly between India and Pakistan.
“We’re mindful that there remain some safe havens that we obviously want to see cleared out. And we continue to engage with the government of Pakistan to that end. And again, I would point you back to what the government of Pakistan itself has said and acknowledged that it’s not going to discriminate among terrorist groups.”
