英语文摘:Pakistan, U.S. at odds over reconciliation with Taliban

But Pakistan, which has launched military offensive against militants in the tribal areas in the past two years, is thinking totally different from U.S. policymakers.

"Pakistan will never take the risk to operate against Haqqani Network because at last America will have to leave the region and Pakistan want to keep this last friendly group in his pocket for future reconciliation," said Aslam Khan, a senior analyst who has close links with Haqqanis.

Criticizing the America's confusing policy, Khan said they wanted reconciliation yet they asked Pakistan to target this friendly group who can be helpful for a political settlement in future.

Khan also denied any link between Al-Qaeda and Haqqani Network and said the group is independent and the true follower of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar.

Rustam Shah Mohmand, Pakistan's former ambassador to Afghanistan, urged Pakistan not to take action against Haqqani Network otherwise they would have to pay "a heavy price".

"If Pakistan, for the sake of 2 billion dollars in U.S. aid, attacks the Haqqani network, it will have to face serious consequences," warned Mohmand.

Official sources revealed that Afghan president Hamid Karzai really wished to hold dialogue with Taliban through Haqqani Network but American pressure had changed his mind.

It was reported that a meeting was held two weeks ago between Karzai and a group of three former Taliban leaders, Abdul Kabir, Sedre Azama and Anwarul Haq Mujahed, who were flown to Kabul from Pakistan's Peshawar by a helicopter.
