US expects Pak won't discriminate among terrorists: official

Pakistani people have suffered at the hands of terrorists for far too long, said US department John Kirby.

Washington: The US expects that Pakistan would adhere to its pledge of not "discriminating" among terror groups, a top official has said.

"Pakistan has said itself that they're not going to discriminate among terrorist groups, and it's our expectation that they will continue to meet that pledge," State Department Spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday.

The Pakistani people have suffered at the hands of terrorists for far too long, he said adding that they have lost friends, they've lost family, they've lost soldiers and troops to the same shared threat, he said.

"We continue to discuss and to talk and to try to work together with Pakistani leadership to get at what is a very real, very shared challenge not just to the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan, but to the entire region," Kirby said.
