ISLAMABAD, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan said on Thursday it is taking action against all the terrorist groups without any distinction hours after the U.S. defence department said it will not pay Pakistan 300 million U.S. dollars in military aid.
A Pentagon spokesman, Adam Stump, has said that Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter had decided against making a certification to Congress stating that Pakistan is taking sufficient action against the Haqqani network, a Taliban affiliate blamed for attacks on U.S. and allied personnel in Afghanistan, Washington Post has reported.
