'US to work with Pakistan against Taliban sanctuaries'
Washington will work with Islamabad to address the problem of Taliban safe havens in the Tribal Areas, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters at the Bagram Air Base, Gates said he was encouraged by recent Pakistani military operations against the Taliban. Gates voiced "sincere condolences ... over the recent loss of innocent lives in coalition airstrikes", and announced a joint probe with Afghanistan into civilian deaths in a recent airstrike.
