TEHRAN: Iran urged Pakistan on Saturday to join it in fighting âterrorismâ by stopping Al Qaeda fighters from slipping into Iran across its eastern border, the official IRNA news agency said. âIran and Pakistanâs joint campaign against terrorism, particularly against the al Qaeda group is important,â the agency quoted Supreme National Security Council chief Hassan Rohani as saying. âThe best way to confront al Qaeda is through regional cooperation and... Pakistan should do its utmost to prevent al Qaeda members from entering into Iran,â Rohani told Pakistani Foreign Minister Mian Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri.
To which Kasuri replied, "Sure, sure! Look at the great job we're doing keeping them from nobbling into Afghanistan!" |
