Pakistan must take on Haqqani network: US senator

KABUL: The chairman of the US Senate Arms Services Committee is urging Pakistan to crack down on the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani militant network, which operates on both sides of the country`s border with Afghanistan.

Sen. Carl Levin, who was visiting Afghanistan, said Sunday that he does not think the Haqqani network will ever make peace and he vowed to push to include the group on the US terrorist blacklist.

The Democratic senator from Michigan praised Pakistan for taking on other militant networks on its territory but said the country is ``not following through`` on its vow to fight all terrorist groups.

The Haqqanis, which mainly focus on attacking targets in Afghanistan, are suspected of having ties to Pakistan`s powerful military intelligence agency. -AP
