| US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an unannounced trip to Pakistan on Thursday to urge the Pakistani Government to take a "tough line" on terrorism in the wake of last week's militant attacks on Mumbai.
"The global threat of extremism and terrorism has to be met by all states, taking a very tough and hard line, and so that is what I am going to discuss," Rice told reporters travelling with her from New Delhi to Islamabad.
"Pakistan has to determine its own response here. It just needs to be a robust response and it needs to be effective," she said.
India has blamed groups based on Pakistani territory for the attack by a band of gunmen which killed nearly 200 people, including six Americans, in the country's financial capital.
Rice was going to meet army chief General Ashfaq Kayani first at army headquarters in Rawalpindi, before holding talks with President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, the leaders of an eight-month-old civilian government.
