US, India to work against terrorism

Published November 22, 2001

NEW DELHI, Nov 21: The US ambassador to India said on Wednesday Washington and New Delhi were on the brink of a major relationship, and pledged the war against terrorism would not be over until terrorism ended against both countries.

“A terrorist is a terrorist,” Ambassador Robert Blackwill said in reply to a question about Pakistan’s support for Mujahideen fighting Indian rule in Kashmir.

“They are not freedom fighters. No country will be permitted to provide sanctuaries to terrorists,” Blackwill said.

Blackwill said Islamabad was a valuable member of the international coalition against terrorism, but terrorism would not be tolerated anywhere.—Reuters
