Islamabad on Saturday rejected US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's comments on militants’ safe havens in Pakistan. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry accused Panetta of oversimplifying complex issues “we are all dealing with in our efforts against extremism and terrorism.” The Pakistani diplomats described the statements as “misplaced and unhelpful in bringing about peace and stability in the region.” Panetta said on Thursday that stabilization efforts in Afghanistan would remain difficult as long as militants had safe havens in Pakistan.
