Al-Qaeda overruns tribal areas of Pakistan: Hillary

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Al-Qaeda overruns tribal areas of Pakistan. Testifying about President Barack Obamas new strategy for the region, Mrs Clinton told lawmakers, It is difficult to parse out the different groups that are operating within Pakistan, all of whom we think are connected in one way or another with Al-Qaeda, and partition some off and go after the others.It will be our continuing effort to make the case that the Pakistanis have to do more against all of the insurgent terrorist groups that are threatening them, that are threatening us in Afghanistan and the Afghan people and are threatening other neighbours in the region, she added.Opening a hearing on Afghan strategy, Senator Kerry, said that it is the presence of Al-Qaeda in Pakistan, its direct ties to and support from the Taliban in Afghanistan and the perils of an unstable, government in Pakistan that drive our mission.
