Pakistan ‘can and must’ do more against terror groups in its soil: White House
2016-11-21
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The White House has said Pakistain ’can and must’ do more against the terrorist groups operating in its soil, it has been reported.

Emphasizing that no state should allow its soil to be used by any terror group to launch attacks on other countries, a senior White House official has said "Recognising the sacrifices of the people and the security forces of Pakistain in fighting some myrmidon and terrorist networks, a fight which we support, President Barack Obama
Dreams of My Sainted Father...
has emphasised that Pakistain ’can and must’ also take more effective action against terrorist groups operating from its soil."

The official further added "The president has made it very clear that no state should allow its territory to be used by turbans to launch attacks into another state, and we will continue to engage on this issue."

The official was responding to an online petition, ’We the People’, launched by Indians in the US that was signed by 665,769 people.

This comes as Pakistain has been accused of allowing certain myrmidon groups to use its soil for planning and coordinating attacks in its neighboring states.

The officials have long been criticizing Pakistain for allowing the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist networks to openly operate in Pakistain.

According to the Afghan officials, the two myrmidon groups are having leadership councils based in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
and Quetta cities of Pakistain from where they plan and coordinate attacks in Afghanistan.
