               Obama: Pakistan Must do More Against Terror Groups

   by VOA News

   U.S. President Barack Obama says Pakistan "can and must" do more
   against terror groups operating from within its borders.

   In an interview published Sunday by the [1]Press Trust of India, Obama
   said Pakistan can show it is serious about dismantling terror networks.

   "In the region and around the world, there must be zero tolerance for
   safe havens and terrorists must be brought to justice," Obama said.

   Attack on Indian air base

   Earlier this month, India blamed a Pakistan-based militant group for an
   attack on an Indian air force base that killed seven soldiers. Pakistan
   detained several members of the group, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and pledged
   its help to India's investigation.

   ''Obama condemned the attack in his comments to PTI, saying it showed
   why the U.S. and India are working together to fight terrorism. He
   called the base attack "another example of the inexcusable terrorism
   that India has endured for too long."

   The issue of militants operating from inside Pakistan has long been a
   target for U.S. criticism, with its tribal regions along the border
   with Afghanistan considered hubs for Taliban and al-Qaida-linked
   fighters.
