Click to play videoMumbai: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that Pakistan needed to "root out" terrorist groups directed against Indian interests.
Clinton told a news conference here that the US had seen "a much greater effort and commitment ... to take on the terrorists" in Pakistan.
"There is a concerted effort we can look forward to. It is too early to tell the outcome of this commitment from Pakistan. In the next few days, I believe, there will be greater awareness whether or not to bring the Mumbai terrorists to justice."
She asked Pakistan to dismantle all terror outfits, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa, but skirted a question on US putting pressure on Islamabad to hand over Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim to India.
Terrorists from Pakistan sneaked into Mumbai in November last year and massacred at least 170 people.
Apparently expecting some more action by Pakistan, she said, "I also believe, in the next few days, there will be a greater awareness whether or not there will be a commitment to bring the Mumbai terrorists to heel and hopefully to justice."
Clinton, who was speaking after paying tributes to the victims of 26/11 attacks at Taj Hotel, said, "The US is very supportive of all efforts in the fight against terrorism."
