Washington, Mar 25 Even though Pakistan has taken strong military steps against terrorists in the past one year, it has continued to support some groups that operate in Afghanistan, a top US intelligence official has said.
"Islamabad has demonstrated determination and persistence in combating militants it perceives dangerous to Pakistan's interests, but it also has provided some support to other Pakistan-based groups that operate in Afghanistan," Mathew Burrows, Counsellor and Director of the Analysis and Production Staff at the National Intelligence Council, told foreign journalists here.
"US and coalition success against the insurgency in Afghanistan could provide new long-term incentives for Pakistan to take steps against Afghan-focused militants".
"Increased Pakistani cooperation is more likely, if Pakistan is persuaded that the US is committed to stabilising Afghanistan and capable of doing so," he said at a news briefing held at the Foreign Press Centre.
