| The United States has expressed concern to Pakistan about terrorist activities carried out by Pakistan-based groups against India, the State Department said. "We made clear that we believe that all countries are responsible for addressing terrorist activities within their borders and we'll continue our discussions with Pakistan in that context," spokesman Richard Boucher said. Secretary of State Colin Powell said he said he was concerned that an escalation of the rhetoric between India and Pakistan could be followed by action, with the possibility of the situation spinning out of control. Hopefully a good talking-to by the USA carries more weight than it did three months ago. We'll see. |
