WASHINGTON (92 News) – US State Department spokesman Mark Toner has on Thursday said that Pakistan has suffered a lot in the war against terror and suffered major terrorist attacks including Army Public School (APS) Peshawar which left more than 150 children dead.
Addressing news briefing in Washington on Thursday, Mark Toner said that the progress has been made to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries in Pakistan, adding that Pakistan has regained control of area that were under the control of terrorists and for this Pakistan has rendered many sacrifices.
He said that the United States will continue to support Pakistan's efforts to combat terrorism and build a more stable and democratic society.
The spokesman said that Pakistan must take action against all armed groups including those carrying out attacks from neighboring countries and eliminate all safe havens.
