Pakistan urged to do more in terror fight
Pakistan must do more to erase Taliban bases inside its territory which are destabilising the entire region, the US commander of Western troops in neighbouring Afghanistan said yesterday. US President Barack Obamas administration has pledged 21,000 more troops to join 39,000 American soldiers fighting Taliban guerrillas in Afghanistan. US Army General David McKiernan, who commands more than 70,000 US and Nato-led troops in Afghanistan, said he was confident the new troops would bring improvements in security to southern Afghanistan this year after years of rising violence. But he described insecurity as a regional problem that could only be resolved by a stronger effort from Pakistans embattled government to tackle safe havens for militants. There must be an improved effort on the other side of the border against these safe havens that many of these insurgent groups operate from in Pakistan, he told a news conference. There are sanctuary areas that have existed for many years across the border. They feed terrorism and insecurity on both sides of the border, McKiernan said. I think it is safe to say there is an expectation that the government of Pakistan must erase these safe havens so that they are not a threat to their own country and the region. They will have the full support of the international community to do that. Pakistani authorities bristle at any suggestion that they have been lax in battling Taliban guerrillas on their side of the border.
