Pak. has not kept its word to curb terror: U.S.

The U.S. is not satisfied with Pakistan’s cooperation in the war against terror as it has not done “anything significant” to rein in the Taliban and the Haqqani network and destroy their sanctuary on its territory as part of its promise, a senior White House official has said. He also described the release from prison of the Mumbai-terror attack accused Hafiz Saeed as “a step backward”.

The U.S., the official said, has now a different approach to Pakistan.

“We expect, Pakistan to take steps against terror sanctuary on its territory,” he said.
