Terrorism a common threat to South Asia: Pak envoy

Terrorism is a common threat to South Asia and Pakistan and India should fight it together, Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit said today.
Basit said terrorism is a common threat -- whether it was 2007 bombing in the Samjhauta Express where majority of the victims were Pakistani, or the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, where around 166 people lost their lives or Army Public School (APS) attack in Peshawar in 2014.
"Terrorism is a common threat to our region. Be it Samjhauta, Mumbai or APS -- what happened last year in Peshawar. It is a common challenge. We need to work together," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

He was replying to a question on terrorism on the occasion of the 7th anniversary of Mumbai terror attack.
