Pakistan will not allow itself to be staging ground for any terrorist attacks, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Friday amid reports foreign fighters were heading to the country to join Al-Qaeda militants. US has warned that global terror group Al-Qaeda is rebuilding itself in Pakistan's tribal areas for a possible terrorist attack on US soil while Kabul has accused Pakistan of backing Taliban insurgents waging a bloody insurgency against international troops in Afghanistan. The newly elected government of Pakistan "has now the legitimate mandate to confront the forces of terrorism wherever they rear their ugly heads," Qureshi said. In talks with White House National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, Qureshi "expressed determination" of his government "to fight terrorism, which continues to be a threat to Pakistan," the Pakistan embassy in Washington said in a statement.
