America to Pakistan: Eliminate 26/11 perpetrators

“Let’s find the people responsible, lets eliminate the groups who were responsible and lets make sure we do everything we can to prevent India from suffering this kind of attack again. That’s an immediate focus that requires everybody’s co-operation, and when we are through that co-operation, we can also start co-operation on broader things,” Boucher said in an interview.

The strong message from Boucher came in the wake of Pakistani authorities trying to blur the focus away from cracking down on Pakistan-based groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) suspected to have masterminded the Mumbai attacks on November 26 that left 179 persons dead.

“Pakistan has taken some promising steps, but there is a lot to be done to tackle the menace,” Boucher said.

Pakistan and India should co-operate and draw a plan to look over such incidents in the future to make certain that such terror assaults against India are curbed, he added.

Boucher further urged Pakistan to understand the significance of the term co-operation in such circumstances.
