New Delhi, November 18: Ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Washington, the US today pressed Pakistan to act against perpetrators of Mumbai attacks, including Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, saying it wants to see results.
Describing Lashkar-e-Taiba as a global threat, US Ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer said Pakistan should recognise the dangers and dismantle the terror infrastructure existing on its soil.
Situation in Pakistan, the Mumbai attacks and cooperation in counter-terrorism will be high on the agenda of Singh’s meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington on November 24, amid the US’ keenness to work “hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder” with India in preventing terror strikes.
The two leaders will also discuss implementation of the historic civil nuclear agreement, regarding which a few issues like liabilities, licensing and reprocessing, remain to be sorted out.
