The United States on Tuesday said it ‘expects’ Pakistan to act against Indian air base attackers and target militant groups.

As Indian security forces continued combing through the sprawling air force base in Pathankot, a Kashmir-based coalition of militant groups the United Jihad Council (UJC) on Monday claimed responsibility for the brazen attack, which is seen as an attempt to derail relations between Pakistan and India.

“The government of Pakistan has spoken very powerfully on this and it’s our expectation that they’ll treat this exactly the way they’ve said they would. We have been clear with the highest levels of the government of Pakistan that it must continue to target all militant groups,” the state department’s John Kirby said.

Three days on from an assault that killed seven military personnel and wounded 22, five attackers have also been eliminated, but one attacker remained in the complex.

  1. This is so typical of Pakistan, they assure their neighbors and the rest of the world not to let their controlled territories be used for attacks on others. In good-faith and naively the neighbors believe them and soon upon after the good neighbors take an initiative to improve relations they (Pakistan) shows them how they can at their will continue the clandestine activities using state & non-state actors. This of course isn't the first time & may not be the last time, the only way the world will rid of the problem is to eliminate the State of Pakistan as it exists!

    • Lets not forget your own ugly history – India has been involved in regional terrorism against Pakistan and it's been proved beyond any doubt. It provided material support to mukti bahni terrorists and openly attacked cities in EP along with mukti bahni terrorists. It's been working with terrorist elements in Afghanistan and separatists from Balochistan to continue fanning unrest and terrorism in areas of Pakistan so why now complaining when getting a taste of your own medicine? What goes around, comes around. Pakistan is not doing anything more than what India did in Bangladesh and still doing in Balochistan. So sit back and enjoy while your incompetent security forces take days and days to clear a single military base.

      • Yes get ready for 'what goes around come around' it will be now Pakistan turn and the region would 'rot' in vengeance, hate and deteriorate to a 'failed-state'! That is was the stupid pakistanis want?

        • Stupidity of indians would get paid back in the same currency. You reap what you sow, you hate mongers!

          • Looks like right now it's you indian terrorists who are getting kicked in the rear by a handful of Kashmiri freedom fighters. Now go check to see if the base has been cleared or not.

          • let us not forget 'the pakistani terrorist have been kicking your ass for over a decade now and these were your 'snakes' in your backyard!

          • Yah and those terrorists snakes were and still are being supported by india – the epicenter of terrorism, this is your real face! But don't worry, we're taking care of them as well and we'll make sure you continue to enjoy the taste of your own medicine so dolts like you can come here to moan and groan like a little prissy girl 🙂 now, carry on boy!
