Encouraged by Pak's promise to investigate Pathankot attack: US

January 12, 2016 13:48

The US has said it is encouraged by the fact that the Pakistan government has condemned the Pathankot terror attack and promised investigation. "Our expectation is that investigation will be thorough and complete and as transparent as possible. But in terms of its progress and where they are, you'd have to talk to Pakistani authorities on it," State Department Spokesman John Kirby said at his daily news conference.

"We're encouraged by the fact that the Pakistani Government condemned the attack and said that they would investigate," he said.

The spokesman said that the US would like the two countries to continue with their peace talks. Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to find out the truth and stressed on the need to stay focused on the pressing challenge of terrorism in the region.
