Calling the Taliban-linked Haqqani network a common enemy, the US has made it clear to Pakistan that both countries have to work together to deal with the dreaded terror outfit responsible for attacks on coalition forces based in Afghanistan.
US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters at Pentagon that Pakistan too has been a victim of terrorism and cited the recent killing of 17 Pakistani soldiers by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
So the two countries have a common enemy and it is in the interest of Islamabad as well to take action against the Haqqani network, he said.
On closure of the NATO supply routes by Pakistan, Panetta said the US continues to have discussions with Islamabad on reopening of the ground lines of communication.(harliners in pak is not allowing for the openning of route)
