US calls for action on Taliban safe havens, Pak envoy demands proof


The Trump administration on Monday called upon Pakistan to “expel and arrest” Taliban leaders operating from its soil and prevent the terror group from operating from its territory. The six attackers were killed by Afghan forces, the government in Kabul said, without pointing to Pakistan. “When somebody turns around and tells us that there are safe havens existing there, we say to them ‘please show us where’,” he said. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”Days later, his administration announced it was suspending nearly $2 billion in security-related aid to Pakistan for its failure to take “decisive action” against terrorists operating from its soil.
