 Pakistan said on Tuesday it would deploy another 10,000 troops along the border with Afghanistan to control cross-border infiltration.

At a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri said Pakistan would deploy another 10,000 troops to dispel the impression that it is not doing enough against terrorism. Kasuri suggested that Pakistan would “take action” against alleged militants in its own areas if it were provided with “actionable evidence”.

Rice, who earlier had a detailed meeting with President General Pervez Musharraf, said Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US “need to unify our efforts to eliminate Al Qaeda and Taliban. The United States’ role is to keep pressing to eliminate the terrible enemy.” She said the three countries were improving their tactical and strategic cooperation. “Pakistan is a friend and a partner. We recognise President Musharraf’s commitment,” she said. However, she stressed “we need to commit as strongly as possible” to make it impossible for Al Qaeda and Taliban militants to operate in the region. She said President Hamid Karzai had launched a process of political reconciliation in Afghanistan. |
