Dawn · News Desk ·
"We're against terrorism no matter where it emanates from and who it targets," US secretary of state says.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday said that Washington has “heard” Pakistan’s concerns about terrorism emanating from Afghanistan and if “there’s a productive role for us to play, we would play it”.
Rubio’s statement came in response to a question about tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan at a press talks in Atlanta.
“Pakistan is concerned about terrorist attacks that are being sponsored from the territory of Afghanistan. They feel as if the Taliban have not done enough to constrain those attacks, and they have taken action against it.
