Washington: Pakistan is reluctant to take a strong action against the terrorist safe havens inside the country which is a major source of frustration, a top US General has said.
"The border with Pakistan is a source of frustration," Marine Corps Maj Gen John Toolan, commander of the 2nd Marine Division and former commander of Regional Command-South West, said.
In a breakfast meeting yesterday, Toolan told Defence Writers' Group that during the year of his stay in Afghanistan the Pakistani Army's 12th Corps was positioned across the border.
The problem is Pakistan has worries of its own and Balochistan, which borders Afghanistan's Helmand and Nimruz provinces, has its own separatist movement underway, he said.
