Pakistan has to cooperate more: Kerry

WASHINGTON: US Senator John Kerry has called for Pakistan to be more cooperative in eliminating alleged sanctuaries of Afghan terrorists in Pakistan. Speaking at a congressional hearing on the upcoming NATO summit in Chicago, Kerry raised the issue of the continued danger of a sanctuary war being prosecuted against the forces in Afghanistan. “I am a veteran of a sanctuary war and I know how insidious it can be, and I personally think that it is unacceptable to have a zone of immunity for acts of war against armed forces and against the collective community that is trying to accomplish what it is trying to accomplish,” the Democratic senator said in a statement. “That means Pakistan has to become more assertive and more cooperative, and we may have to resort to other kinds of self-help depending on what they decide to do,” he added. inp
