Islamabad, 10 October(Wishav Warta): After getting blamed by US for providing Haqqani network safe heavens in Pakistan. Foreign minister Khawaja Asif has said Pakistan is ready for a joint operation with the US to destroy the Haqqani network if it provides evidence about the presence of safe havens of the dreaded terror outfit in the country.
US President Donald Trump, in August, had accused Pakistan of harbouring “agents of chaos and terror” and the “very enemy US forces have fighting in Afghanistan” for the past 17 years.
Asif, who recently visited Washington and met senior Trump administration officials, told, “We have offered American authorities to visit Pakistan with evidence of Haqqani network’s safe havens in the country.
“If they find any activity [of Haqqanis] in the targeted areas, our troops, along with the US, would destroy them once and for all.”
The Haqqani network has carried out a number of kidnappings and attacks against US interests in Afghanistan. The group is also blamed for several deadly attacks against Indian interests in Afghanistan, including the 2008 bombing of the Indian mission in Kabul that killed 58 people.
