US to cooperate with Pakistan on counterterrorism amid mounting terrorist attacks: Spokesperson

Author: APP

WASHINGTON: The United States will continue cooperating with Pakistan on counterterrorism and border security, 
a State Department spokesperson said Wednesday, while reiterating Washington's condemnation of last month's terrorist attack 
in Karachi University, amid spike in such attacks across the country.

"We value our bilateral relationship. We want to continue to work together in areas where we do have mutual interests with our 
Pakistani partners. That includes counterterrorism. That includes border security as well, " Spokesman Ned Price said at his 
daily press briefing on Wednesday.

He was responding to a question whether the U.S. was reviewing the former Trump administration-imposed suspension of 
security aid to Islamabad following the deadly terrorist attack in Karachi, as such attacks emanating from Afghanistan continue 
to rise across Pakistan.

"We strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Karachi University in Pakistan. We reiterate that condemnation today. 
A terrorist attack anywhere is an affront to humanity everywhere," State Department Spokesperson said

"But for a terrorist attack to take place at a university or at a religious site or at some of the locations we've seen recently, that 
is a true affront to mankind," he said.

Following the attack, the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility. 
Three Chinese teachers and their Pakistani driver were killed in the attack.
