#3 Pakistan can do more against terrorism, says Afghan FM Updated at 2100 PST KABUL: Pakistan could do more in the fight against terrorism; Afghanistan's foreign minister said Sunday after Islamabad rejected as absurd a similar statement by a top US counter-terrorism official. Foreign Minister Rangeen Dadfar Spanta, sworn in last week, said however that his country appreciated Pakistan's cooperation against Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants trying to topple the Afghan government. "I think our brother country Pakistan can do something more against terrorism but I am very happy that we have had very strong cooperation against terrorism and for security and stability building in Afghanistan," Spanta told reporters. "We know the sources of terrorism are outside Afghanistan to have sustainable success in this region, I think it is immediately necessary that we work together and closely with Pakistan against terrorism," he said. |
