Washington The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has said that a part of Pakistan has become a safe haven for terrorists organisations like Al Qaeda and the Taliban and this would be one of the main challenges for the incoming Obama Administration.

Though Pakistan has cooperated with the US post-9/11, Cheney, in an interview to a television news channel on Wednesday, said, "They've got a portion of the country that isn't really controlled by the central government that's become a safe haven for the Taliban operating into Afghanistan, and for Al-Qaeda."

Cheney said, "Those (Iran and Pakistan) are going to be challenges that the new administration is going to have to deal with early on."

The Vice President said, "The situation in Iran is a regime that's a terror-sponsoring state, a prime mover and shaker where Hezbollah is concerned, but also actively and aggressively trying to develop nuclear weapons."

End the policies of warlord in east asia. by Nautankee on 15 Jan 2009

Before giving any type of aid to Pakistan, the West should ask them to dismantle all terrorist camps. Even India should be asked to book VHP and Bajrang Dal for spreading hate crimes against fellow human beings.

Two faces of pakistan by sashi on 15 Jan 2009

Pakistan acts as supporting US for fighting against terrorism, but internally pakistan governament and ISI support terrorism. I don't know why other countries don't understand the fact.

Terrorism and Pakistan by Gunjan Shree Sinha on 15 Jan 2009

Sir,1. The Pakistan government cannot be expected to help in tackling the terrorism problem. Instead, we have fallen pray to their design. The confession of Ajmal Kasab of being a Pakistani, the coverage of Pakistan’s own electronic media-“Geo TV” which proves his confession and the phones

USA only to be blamed by virender yadav on 15 Jan 2009

USA had created these organisations in the past and now they have become a big problem to them only. India is paying a price simply because it is a neighour. USA will continue to give them aid in billions and trillions in both military and non military in order to woo pakistan and postpone the action, it does not understand that by doing so it is only aggravating a problem. A day is not far if USA do not wake up now there may be a another 7/11 with nuclear this time. USA is still very shy of attacking a real problem and making it bigger each passing day. See pak is not a matured state and it is being controlled by people who belive in black mail and extract money and probably have a long term aim of ruling the world through Jihad. Let all civilised societies of world wake up and act now. USA please wake up before it is too late.
