Washington, Dec 5, SPA -- The White House on Thursday called on Pakistan to cooperate fully and communicate with India in the wake of terrorist attacks in Mumbai attacks.“Pakistan needs to act with resolve, urgency. They need to cooperate fully and transparently and they need to keep the line of communication open between their country and India,” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.“We will continue to try to help make that happen,” she said. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is in the region at the moment, trying to ensure that tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan don’t escalate further. India and U.S. officials have blamed groups based on Pakistani territory for the attack that killed 171 people, but so far the Pakistani state and government agencies have not been accused of involvement. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari had “said all of the right things” about cooperating with the investigation during his talks with Rice in Islamabad earlier in the day.“What’s important now is that we have action,” Wood said.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/613970
