CNews WASHINGTON: The US has expressed concern over the bombings in Islamabad and Afghanistan and said that Pakistan is not involved in Kabul suicide bombing, State Department acting spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos told reporters.
Gallegos said US will continue to work with the new elected government in Islamabad in fighting the common enemy of terrorism, while letting Pakistanis make their own decisions.
“We’ll continue to work with the Pakistani government to fight our common enemy, which is these terrorist extremists who are willing to kill Muslims, Christians, anybody who gets in the way of the path which is what they seek, which is instability and chaos, so that they can prosper under that realm,” he said.
“We believe that the Pakistani people have the right to make these decisions for themselves. We’re going to engage with them to allow them to do that and hopefully we’ll march towards peace,” he said.
On Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s forthcoming visit to Washington, Gallegos said: “The Pakistani people have made their decision on who their leaders will be. We stand behind them and we’re working with them.”
