Washington, May 09: As a team of FBI officials landed in Islamabad to probe any possible Pakistani links to the failed Times Square bombing case, the US today warned Pakistan that it will face “very severe consequences” if any terror plot 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 told the CBS news channel in an interview that is scheduled to be aired tomorrow.
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.
The Secretary of State said Pakistan’s attitude toward fighting Islamic terrorists has changed remarkably.
