The American ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter, says there's evidence linking one of the main militant groups in Afghanistan, the Haqqani network, to the Pakistani government and that those links have to stop. He said the US believed the Haqqani group was behind a 20-hour gun battle in central Kabul last week. Here's Shahzeb Jillani.
美国驻巴基斯坦大使蒙特(Cameron Munter)表示,有证据表明阿富汗好战组织哈卡尼(Haqqani)与巴基斯坦政府有联系,这些联系必须终止。他表示,美国相信,哈卡尼与上周喀布尔中部持续20小时的枪战有关。Shahzeb Jillani报道。
Washington has been pressing Pakistan to target the Haqqani network in its North Waziristan region for some time now. The US blames the group for some of the major attacks targeting Nato-led forces in Afghanistan, and the Pakistani military says it is already overstretched and would have to think hard before opening up another war front. But increasingly it seems Washington is losing patience, complicating an already difficult relationship with Islamabad. Last Wednesday, the US warned it would have to take unilateral action inside Pakistan if the authorities there failed to act against the group.
一段时间以来,华盛顿一直敦促巴基斯坦打击北瓦齐斯坦境内的好战组织哈卡尼(Haqqani)。美国谴责该组织在阿富汗境内对北约领导的部队实施了几次重大袭击。巴基斯坦军队表示,他们已经肩负着很多任务,在开辟新的战线之前必须深思。但是华盛顿似乎逐渐失去耐心,导致与伊斯兰堡之间原本艰难的关系更加复杂。上周三,美国警告称,如果巴基斯坦政府没有对该组织采取行动,他们将采取单方面措施。
