When asked by reporters about the Indian Prime Minister’s observation that Pakistan’s agencies could be “involved” in Mumbai terror attacks, he said “I don’t think we want to take a view that we make accusations against certain parties without the usual evidences, proofs.” The US has been pressing for deeper understanding in Pakistan of the roots of the problem of terrorism, he said. “When Americans are killed anywhere, we pursue those people and that is what we are upto in Pakistan.

That is the American agenda,” media reports quoting him said.
