ISLAMABAD: In an exclusive interview with Geo News senior anchor, Hamid Mir, US Secretary of State John Kerry said terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) and Al-Qaeda were violating the sovereignty of Pakistan.



"Pakistan faces a very serious threat. LeT, TTP, Al-Qaeda and Haqqani network attack and kill people in mosques. They blow people up in market places."



When asked about US drone attacks, the US Secretary of State replied that drone strikes are conducted in the defence of the United States. "We are engaged in counter-terrorism for self defence. We are very appreciative of Pakistan and understand the powerful feelings about any of these efforts. "



Kerry added that terrorist activity in Pakistan was taking place in before drones and in areas where there we no drone attacks. "Blowing up women and children can never be excused."



Kerry said the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was not raised during his meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. "People in Pakistan would feel very good about it (Dr. Aafia's release) but we have a legal situation which we have to analyse."



He also told Hamid Mir that the US was decreasing and not completely withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan. "Not every single soldier will leave in 2014. We have been very clear about that. We are not withdrawing we are drawing down."



Speaking on the situation in Egypt, Kerry said that Muhammad Morsi was ousted on the will of the people. He added that the US was against the violence in Egypt and had spoken to the Egyptian army chief personally regarding this matter.

It is important to note that Kerry made this statement in Pakistan, where the generals are thinking that the US will abandon Afghanistan.

that's a gospel, but too good to be true. countries on the periphery have enjoyed freeloading on the security the US forces provide for too long.

You are welcome to come and dig out the remains of more than 2000 Pakistanis, buried in Dasht-i-Leili.

many parts of afghanistan were originaly parts of greater KPK.
we the pashtuns of KPK will someday take it back.

The Sikhs captured KPK fair and square from the Afghans. You are now an Indian muslim.

But Durand Line is not acceptable to Afghanistan...

But Durand Line is not acceptable to Afghanistan...

All non Pashtun Afghans are in favour of recognition of the Durand line as the international border. It would greatly decrease any Taliban movement (think of it like the Kashmir border where insurgents regularly infiltrate). The border simply does not exist, anyone can pass, bringing with them weapons, drugs, fighters, suicide bombers.

But we keep our mouth shut because it is a sensitive issue for Pashtuns.

Do Pashtuns want those areas leased to British India back, to be merged with Afghanistan ?
Or they want a separate Pashtunistan ?

Ethnic nationalist Pashtuns from Afghanistan want to:
- Pashtunify the entire country. This is unacceptable to the Tajiks, Uzbeks, Hazaras who all have a different culture and language. It is oppression.
- retake land (KPK province, and also Balochistan for access to the sea) which they see as their rightful property. This used to be a movement in the 1950s, but is non existing now. Today the biggest movement among them are Islamists, not ethnic nationalists. And they don't care about borders.
