Bush to press Perv on terrorist training camps
US President George W. Bush said Friday he would push Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf during an upcoming visit to Islamabad to close terrorist training camps.On my trip to Pakistan, I will, of course, talk about the terrorist activities, the need to dismantle terrorist training camps and to protect innocent life, Bush told Doordarshan state-run television of India. The US president had been asked about the terrorist training camps and training infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. One of the real dangers of the terrorist movement is that theyll kill innocent people to achieve an objective. And India and president Musharraf, as well as our country, cares deeply about innocent life, Bush added. The South Asian nuclear rivals both claim the scenic Himalayan region in its entirety but administer it in part. They have fought two of their three wars over the territory. India accuses Pakistan of helping the insurgency in Kashmir. Pakistan denies the charge but admits extending moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmiris waging what it terms a freedom struggle. Bush leaves late February 28 for India, and from there will travel to Pakistan. It will be his first visit to either country. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-02-26 |
