Washington, Jun 4 (PTI) Several terrorists charged by India with mass killings on its soil have been living in Pakistan, an eminent American think tank has said, noting that the US has not yet made it a priority to hold Islamabad to account for the infiltration of militants across the border.
Indians have been watching the Pakistani army send "armed young men with groups like Lashkar(-e-Toeba) across that border with impunity for years, and the United States has not made it a priority of holding Pakistan to account for the rates of infiltration," Steve Coll, President and CEO of New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, said at a Congressional hearing.
"It would be unreasonable to say you should have zero infiltrations into complex territory, big mountains, but the rates of infiltration that Pakistan has allowed suggest state policy," he told lawmakers.
