Pakistani support for military action against militants drops

None

Domestic support for the Pakistani military's campaign against Islamist militant groups has waned in recent years, a poll by a US group has found, showing deep-rooted opposition among the Pakistani public to the United States.

 

The findings of two Pew Research Center surveys will be disappointing for the United States, which wants its ally to deal forcefully with militants, particularly those fighting US-led foreign forces across the border in Afghanistan who take refuge in northwestern Pakistani border enclaves.  (Reuters)
