Voicing its determination to ensure elimination of the terror threat emanating from Pakistan, the US today said the steps taken by Islamabad so far were not sufficient and there was a “long way to go”.
US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, who held talks with Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon soon after his arrival from Islamabad, stressed the need to track down individuals and organisations behind the Mumbai attacks by following leads “as far as they go”.
The US official, who told the Pakistani leadership to take the probe into the attacks to its logical conclusion, briefed Menon on his discussions in Islamabad. “The principal topic is the Mumbai attacks. It was a horrible attack against Indians, Americans and others. We will continue to follow up on that,” Boucher told reporters after meeting the foreign secretary.
