US Vice President JD Vance has called on Pakistan to cooperate with India in tracking down terrorists operating from its territory, following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
On Thursday, Vance said Washington hopes India will respond with caution to avoid a broader regional conflict in the wake of last week’s attack in which 26 people — mostly tourists — were killed by Pakistan-based terrorists.
“And we hope, frankly, that Pakistan, to the extent that they’re responsible, cooperates with India to ensure that the terrorists sometimes operating from their territory are hunted down and dealt with,” Vance said.
Speaking to Fox News, Vance publicly addressed the attack, which claimed 26 lives. Notably, he and his family were in India on a four-day visit when the attack occurred — the deadliest since the 2019 Pulwama bombing targeting CRPF personnel.
“Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that doesn’t lead to a broader regional conflict,” Vance said on Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier.
