India worried over rise of terror in Pak, Afghanistan: PM

New Delhi, Nov 8 (PTI) Worried over the rise in terror
incidents in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Prime Minister of India
Manmohan Singh on Sunday asked the global community to extend
sustained cooperation for dealing with the menace for ensuring
stability in the region.

"We are very worried about the rise of terrorism in
our neighbourhood, particularly what is going on in
Afghanistan and in Pakistan. We have a vital stake in peace,
progress and stability of these countries and other countries
of South Asia," Singh said while inaugurating the India
Economic Summit here.
He said India has been a victim of terrorism,
"unfortunately coming from across our border for the last 25
years" but the world discoverd it as a global problem only
after 9/11 (attack on the US).
"I sincerely hope that among the processes, which
require sustained international cooperation, dealing with
terrorism figures very high on the priorities of all civilised
countries of the world," he said.
India is concerned over a sharp rise in deadly
terrorist attacks in various parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan
in recent past.
The American agency FBI has recently uncovered a plot
by nabbing David Coleman Headley who was hired by the
Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba to carry out
attacks in India. PTI TEAM
