New York: Pakistan Wednesday reiterated that Haqqani network was created by the Americans themselves and Pakistan has nothing to do with the militant group.
Talking to an Indian news channel here, Pakistan’s permanent representative to United Nations, Abdullah Hussain Haroon said that Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has candidly told the world that mutual trust could help to eliminate terrorism and it was as much Pakistan’s fight as it was for the rest of the world.
 He said Pakistan has been suffering with terrorism and no country in the world had given as much sacrifices as Pakistan did since decades to make this world a peaceful place to live in.
 Haroon said Pakistan is a responsible country in world community and it has been fighting the war against terror as a front line state.
 He said US is criticizing Pakistan for supporting Haqqani network, created this militant group in 1980s against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan. He added that Haqqani leaders were accorded red-carpet welcome at White House.
In support of Pakistan’s argument that the Haqqani terror network was created by the US, Pakistan’s ambassador showed NDTV a clip on his cell phone of former President Ronald Reagan hosting Jalaluddin Haqqani with great fanfare.
