Iran urges Pakistani clampdown on terrorism

lmao.

what idiots - they dont do a thing to stop shia militias, who kill thousands of muslims in iraq, operating from their borders yet try and lecture others,

NEW DELHI (AFP) – Iran's deputy foreign minister urged Pakistan on Friday to boost its counter-terror efforts, three weeks after the Mumbai attacks that India has blamed on a Pakistan-based militant group. "Our Pakistani friends, they should also take the lessons and they should also deal with the terrorists in a very strong manner," Mohammad Mehdi Akhondzadeh told reporters in New Delhi. "I believe the Pakistan leadership could also make that strong commitment that they are not tolerating terrorist activities," Akhondzadeh said. Questioned on who Tehran believed to be responsible for the attacks in Mumbai that claimed 172 lives, including those of nine militant gunmen, the minister refused to point the finger at any government or group. Indo-Pakistan tensions have soared in the wake of the attacks, but Akhondzadeh stressed that the two nuclear-armed neighbours had long experience in steering a path through bilateral crises. "India and Pakistan, in the past few years, have proved they have the political maturity to deal with the consequences of terrorism here and there," he said. "I know that once the two leaders of the two countries sit together, they can sort out many things," he added. India's foreign minister said earlier this week that the peace process with Pakistan, resurrected in 2004, had been put on hold in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, which New Delhi has blamed on Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based militant outfit fighting Indian rule in disputed Kashmir. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081219...kspakistaniran

Says the government which is sponsoring insurgency in Iraq AS WELL AS providing the funding and weapons in Afghanistan!

[dblock]

Hypocritical but nevertheless a good message if you read the entire passage and not descending into the blame game.

They will stay quite and just say war is not good

[suhaib]

not much iran can do if theres a war between pak and bin.

but they can surily sort out the americans in iraq and afganistan with us.

[itduzz]

iran can help us by giving free oil

[suhaib]

that maybe would be a good option to take oil from them and avoid oil from other muslim countries like saudia, uae, etc. as they could get put under sanctions.

Are you kidding? The Iranians are ideologically miffed with Pakistan, seen as a Wahabbi (hence, anti-shia) satelite for accepting Saudi money for years on end. Also due to Pakistans support of the Taliban (who were also rather anti-shia), and not to mention perceived internal suppression of shia groups within Pakistan by the Sipaah-e-sahabai etc.

Having said that, it wasnt Iranians who sold Pakistan down the river in the AQ Khan Nuclear proliferation debacle, but the Libyans. And for this we still call Lahore stadium - 'Qadafi stadium'!!!
