Gates lauds Pakistan’s Commitment To Fighting Extremists

Latest Updates News US Defence Secretary Robert Gates strongly praised for Pakistan's efforts to root out extremist militants amid concern about potential links between the failed Times Square car bombing and Pakistani army's commitment to fighting extremists inside its borders.

Gates says the US remains willing to offer as much help as the Pakistani government will accept. He has not indicated a new push for more US forces in Pakistan following the attempted bombing in Times Square.

Gates said the Obama administration is sticking to its policy of offering to do as much training and other military activity inside Pakistan as the Pakistani government is willing to accept.
