Washington not in business of greenlighting attacks

WASHINGTON (APP)- The State Department has said that the US does not encourage any country for attacks against terrorist targets into territories of other nations as it urged Pakistan-India cooperation in investigation into last week’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
State Department Deputy Spokesman Robert Wood said on Tuesday that the US expects Pakistan’s cooperation in the investigation and noted that Islamabad remains committed to fight against terrorism.
He said ‘it’s too early to say where these attackers originated from, who was behind these attacks’.
Washington has so far had no evidence of Pakistani link to the Mumbai crisis, Wood said and hoped that the investigation would help establish the source of the attacks.
‘We do not give green or red lights to countries. What we’re trying to do is, we’ve got a tragedy that took place in India. We want to work with the govt of India and other players to do what we can to bring the culprits of these attacks to justice’, he said.
The spokesman was asked to comment if the US would give India a green light to strike any terrorist targets inside Pakistan.
