Pakistan continues to use Afghan Taliban as a "hedge" against India, a top US commander has told lawmakers, as he expressed America's frustration over Islamabad's failure to take concrete steps to deny safe havens to terrorist groups.
Marine Corps Lt Genenral Kenneth McKenzie's remarks came days after US President Trump sought Pakistan PM Imran Khan's help in the Afghan peace process.
The Trump administration, in the recent months, has intensified its efforts to seek a negotiated settlement of America's longest war in Afghanistan where the US has lost over 2,400 soldiers since late 2001, when it invaded the country after the 9/11 terror attacks.
