US says Taliban getting restricted in Pakistan
2009-06-06
[Geo News] The US State Department Assistant Secretary Philip J., expressing satisfaction over Pakistan military operation against Talibanization, has said that Taliban's activities in Pakistan are getting restricted.

He said this during press briefing here on Friday. To a question, he said US is aware of Pakistan's critical condition propped up due to surge in Talibanization and owing to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP)'s issue brought about by military offensive in North West even then, Taliban activities in Pakistan are getting confined.

Philip said Taliban are still potential threat to Pakistan but world must encourage Pakistani people efforts to counterinsurgency.

He vowed to continue helping Pakistani IDPs saying, "US will make every possible effort to help them rehabilitate".

I am happy over announcement of additional aid for IDPs from Richard Holbrooke, he added.
