Kolkata, May 7 (ANI): U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that Pakistan has not taken necessary action against Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, suspected of masterminding the terror attack in Mumbai in 2008.
Clinton, who is on a visit to Kolkata, said, "We are well aware that no steps have been taken by the Pakistani government to do what both India and the United States have repeatedly requested them they do."
"And we are going to keep pushing that point. So it's a way of raising the visibility and pointing out to those who are associated with him that there is a cost for that," The Express Tribune quoted Clinton, as saying.
Clinton also said the U.S. believes Al-Qaeda leader Ayman-al-Zawahiri is somewhere in Pakistan.
India has repeatedly called on Pakistan to bring Saeed to justice, an issue that has stood in the way of rebuilding relations between the nuclear-armed neighbours since the carnage in India's financial capital, where gunmen killed 166 people.
Washington had earlier offered a reward of 10 million dollars for information leading to Saeed's capture. (ANI)
