The United States yesterday offered to aid Pakistan in investigating a deadly siege on Karachi airport and denounced the assault which left 30 people dead.
“The United States condemns the attack on the Karachi airport. And our hearts go out… to the families of the victims and those who were wounded in that attack,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
Washington has offered “assistance to the relevant Pakistani authorities investigating this crime,” added State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf, although she was not aware if the offer had been taken up.
The TTP said the brazen attack was its latest revenge for the killing of its leader Hakimullah Mehsud in a US drone strike in November.
“Broadly speaking, we have supported the Pakistani government as they have undertaken counter terrorism efforts because it´s a fight we certainly share,” she told reporters.
