Washington, September 30 (IANS): The US warned Pakistan that it would act on its own as it did against Osama bin Laden and put on its terrorist list five associates of the Haqqani network branded as a “veritable arm” of the Pakistani spy agency, the ISI. “The fact of the matter is we are fighting a war in Afghanistan, and one of the problems we’ve had, which is where this issue arises from, is with the safe havens that the Haqqani network has in Pakistan,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters here Thursday. The Haqqani network is a militant group that operates on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. “That’s an issue that we raised with our Pakistani counterparts, and we continue to have those discussions on a regular basis about the broad range of areas where we have shared interests and cooperation,” he said. Asked what discussions were going on with the Pakistanis about military action that might go beyond drones, Carney said: “Certainly, we take action against the enemies of the United States -- members of Al Qaeda -- where we find them.
