Clinton Presses Pakistan To Do More To Stamp Out Terrorism -- Reuters
Standing next to India's foreign minister, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed neighbouring Pakistan on Tuesday to do more to stamp out homegrown terrorism, in comments likely to please the Indian government but annoy Pakistani leaders.
Clinton was speaking a day after accusing Islamabad of foot-dragging in the case of Hafiz Saeed, the Pakistan-based Islamist blamed for masterminding the attack by gunmen on Mumbai in 2008. Clinton has authorised a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture.
