A day after Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari’s spokesman, Farhatullah Baber lauded him for playing a pivotal role in improving Pak-India ties, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher on Thursday said that the steps taken by Pakistan so far "have not eliminated the terror threat."
As part of America's ongoing efforts to defuse Indo-Pakistan tensions escalating in the aftermath of the Mumbai terror strikes, Boucher met Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon in Delhi on Thursday evening.
Pakistan's initiatives are promising but there is a long way to go, he said, adding: "People responsible for Mumbai attacks have to be brought to justice. The US is determined to find out who carried out Mumbai attacks."
His remarks come soon after he was decorated with Pakistan's civil award Hilal-e-Quaid-e-Azam as recognition of his services towards easing Pak-India tensions.
