Islamabad : The US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, arrived here on Thursday to press Islamabad to extend all possible cooperation to New Delhi on the Mumbai terror attacks.
She was holding a meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari, and official sources told KUNA that the talks would mainly cover renewed tension in relations between India and Pakistan.
Despite Islamabad’s repeated assurances of willingness to help its neighbor in the terror probe, Rice on Wednesday talking to Indian media in New Delhi urged it to take “direct and tough action” against non-state actors suspected to be behind the attacks.
Also on Wednesday, President Zardari clearly told the US Joint Chief of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen that it was not involved in the Mumbai carnage, directly or indirectly, and that any aggression from the Indian side will compel it to move its forces fighting militants in the tribal areas to the Indian border.
