ISLAMABAD: The United States Ambassador David Hale on Thursday condemned the attack on a census team in Lahore that left six dead and injured 15 others. Hale termed the attack an attempt to weaken democracy in Pakistan.
The US Ambassador was addressing the ‘Leaders in Islamabad’ summit, where he stressed that he would like to work together to defeat those behind the attack in Pakistan as well as attacks in neighbouring countries.
Hale acknowledged that while Pak-US relations have weathered storms the 70-year-old relationship remains strong.
