The United States has issued a direct warning to Pakistan to
roll up terrorist groups operating in the country and put an end to support
they provide for such groups, warning
that if Islamabad chose not to act, Washington will find ways to achieve its
objectives. Pakistan keeps repeating the claim that it has taken a lead role in
the war on terror and has suffered as a consequence, although its establishment
still nurtures US and UN designated terrorists such as Hafiz Saeed, Maulana
Masood Azhar, and Dawood Ibrahim.
