None

.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is holding a second day of talks with top Pakistani officials to press them to do more to combat insurgents. Clinton was to meet Friday with Pakistan's president and foreign minister after a lengthy four-hour discussion on Thursday with top Pakistani military and intelligence officials.

 

At Thursday's talks, Clinton led a high-level US delegation, including CIA director David Petraeus and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey. The Obama administration is demanding that Pakistan step up efforts to fight militants intent on destabilizing neighboring Afghanistan. Clinton on Thursday delivered a blunt warning that the United States will do what it must to go after militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan, whether Pakistan helps or not. (AP)
