Issue of terrorist training camps raised with Pakistan: US

Washington, Nov 17 (PTI) The Obama Administration has
raised the issue of existing terrorist training camps inside
Pakistan with the leadership of the country and expressed its
concern on it, a US official has said.
The State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Monday
that the US has also briefed Pakistan about the information it
has gained from recent arrest of individuals in the United
States in connection with the terrorist activities.
"We have, of course, raised our concerns, and we
have briefed the Pakistani authorities about some of the
information that we have gained from some of these suspects
that have now been indicted," he said, but did not divulge
specific details.
The spokesman was responding to a question asked in
reference to the series of arrests in recent months of those
trained in terrorist camps inside Pakistan.
"I don't have any real specific information that I
can share with you," Kelly said.
India has also been briefed on this issue, he
acknowledged.
Kelly said, "I don't think we should ever be
satisfied when it comes to the problem of dealing with this
kind of vicious terrorism that we are seeing in Pakistan, in
Afghanistan, and elsewhere. The authorities in Pakistan
themselves are taking the challenge very seriously. How can
they do otherwise when they see these kinds of horrible
attacks almost every day?
"One of the hallmarks of this administration and our
approach to this problem has been more of an integrated
approach, not just looking at Afghanistan and Pakistan in
isolation, but looking at the problem of extremism, violent
extremism, in general, in the border areas," he said. PTI LKJ
