The US had given a blunt warning to Pakistan that if it does not take quick and decisive action against Lashkar-e-Toiba, Washington will unilaterally act to crush the militant outfit linked to the Mumbai attacks, a leading US daily reported on Tuesday.The report came as Pakistan arrested suspected Mumbai attacks mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhwi and 20 other militants after targeting LeT camps in PoK. It has also placed another top terrorist Maulana Masood Azhar under house arrest.The message of unilateral American action against the Lashkar came both from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen during their recent visits to Islamabad, the ‘Washington Post’ said quoting an unnamed ‘high-ranking’ Pakistani official.The US State Department on Monday said Pakistan has taken ‘some positive steps’ since the Mumbai terror strikes but asked it to ‘act’ to prevent ‘any future terrorist attacks’.An American counterterrorism official, speaking of the arrests of the Lashkar terrorists, has made the point that the bottom-line is ‘results’."They (Pakistani authorities) seem to be stirring. But results are what counts," the unnamed official told the ‘Post’.
