More on the volleyball game between Pakistan and US over the Haqqani accusations...

Amid a diplomatic row over alleged links between ISI and terror groups, a top American Senator has said that US needs to have "all options" on the table if Pakistan does not abandon the policy of embracing terrorism as part of its national strategy. 

"If they continue to embrace terrorism as a part of their national strategy, we're going to have to put all options on the table including defending our troops," Senator Lindsay Graham said yesterday. Graham said it is a time of choosing for Pakistan, which so far the US has been identifying as a key ally in the war against terrorism. 

"I am saying that we know the Haqqani Network operates with impunity inside of Pakistan in a town called Miranshah," he said, alleging that Pakistan is terrorism itself.
