US to work with Pakistan on border security, counterterrorism
[Dawn] Counter­terrorism and border security are the two areas where the United States wants to continue to work with Pakistain, says the US State Department.

Responding to a question about restoring US security assistance to Pakistain, the department’s spokesperson Ned Price said at a Wednesday news briefing that Washington wanted to continue its cooperation with Islamabad in some areas.

"We value our bilateral relationship. We want to continue to work together in areas where we do have mutual interests with our Pak partners," he said. "That includes counterterrorism. That includes border security as well."

Commenting on the observation that the situation in Afghanistan had increased terrorist attacks in Pakistain as well, Mr Price mentioned last month’s attack at Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
University that killed three Chinese and a Pak.

"Well, at the time, we strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Karachi University," he said. "We reiterate that condemnation today."

Mr Price said that a terrorist attack anywhere was an affront to humanity everywhere, "but for a terrorist attack to take place at a university, or at a religious site ... — that is a true affront to mankind".

Another journalist reminded him that the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recently recommended adding India to a list of regular violators and asked if that recommendation would be implemented.

"USCIRF is an independent commission. It’s not a governmental entity. It does provide recommendations and guidance to the US government," Mr Price responded. "It is something that we look at closely as we evaluate conditions of religious freedom or lack thereof around the world."

#3 I think the concept they are looking for is the turnstile where militants can go off and make mayhem but not come back. Maybe they can create something like the pill they injected into Snake Pliskin without the antidote part.
