WASHINGTON:US President Barack Obama said that Pakistan must cooperate more fully with the United States to help wipe out Al-Qaeda.
In the interview with a US television, Obama said the tribal territories that straddle the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan were the ‘epicenter of the violent extremism directed against the West and the United States.’
‘Ultimately, in order for us to eradicate the problem, to really go after Al-Qaeda, we are going to need more cooperation from Pakistan. There is no doubt about that,’ Obama added.
He was speaking as reports emerged that the United States unleashed on Tuesday a drone strike in northwest Pakistan, which a US official told had killed a senior Al-Qaeda leader.
