Washington, May 08: US has warned Pakistan it will face “very severe consequences” if a terror plot like the botched Times Square bombing was traced to that country.
“We’ve made it very clear that if – heaven-forbid – an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said.
Clinton said that US expects more cooperation in fighting terror from the Pakistan government and warned there could be repercussion if any future successful terror attacks in America were linked to Pakistan.
In an interview to CBS Television’s ’60 minutes’ programme to be aired this weekend, Clinton acknowledged that Pakistan had become far more helpful in battling terrorists during the past year, but cooperation could be improved.
The Secretary of State said Pakistan’s attitude toward fighting Islamic terrorists has changed remarkably.
