US diplomat: Taliban hiding in Quetta

"They [taliban] pass over the borders between Afghanistan and Balochistan and even some members of your own government have said that they know (the militants) travel to Karachi and Islamabad. They move all around the country,"

A top US diplomat on Wednesday said that the Taliban militants have a presence in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, and asked the Pakistan government to take action against them.

"They have their existence in Quetta and the government of Pakistan should root them out from here," US Consul General in Karachi Stephen Fakan told reporters.
