Washington, Dec 10 (PTI) Expressing concern over
series of arrests of US nationals as terror suspects,
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said much of the
training and direction for terrorists comes from Pakistan and
the border area with Afghanistan.
"We know that much of the training and the direction
for terrorists comes from Pakistan and the border area with
Afghanistan," Clinton told reporters at the Foggy Bottom
headquarters of the State Department.
It has always been a concern, Clinton said when
asked about several cases of home grown terrorists in the
country.
"We know we've got to work more closely with both
Afghanistan and Pakistan to try to root out the infrastructure
of terrorism that continues to recruit and train people who
are willing to do what is alleged with Zazi, David Headley,
and others in the recent cases that have come to light,"
Clinton said.
Headley, a US national of Pakistani origin was
arrested by the FBI in October on charges of planning
terrorist attacks in India and Mumbai. (MORE) PTI
