| Pakistan told to step up al-Qaeda hunt |
| 2006-05-08 |
| Henry Crumpton, the US State Department's co-ordinator for counter-terrorism, has called on Pakistan to intensify its hunt for ranking members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Mr Crumpton said in Kabul, the Afghan capital on Saturday: "Not only al-Qaeda, but Taliban leadership are primarily in Pakistan, and the Pakistanis know that. Has Pakistan done enough? I think the answer is 'no'." Pakistani officials rejected such claims. "I find these remarks to be at odds with what he [Crumpton] told us. When he was in Islamabad, he said the US appreciates our efforts," said Aftab Sherpao, Pakistan's interior minister. |
