 A US State Department
                      report today said that Pakistan’s federally administered
                      tribal areas “have become safe haven” for Al-Qaida
                      terrorists and other extremist insurgents since the fall
                      of the Taliban in December 2001.

                      amid concern that the much-hyped deal is in serious

Nicholas Burns, the US point person on the deal, in Washington where administration officials were growing increasingly frustrated with Indian demands over nuclear cooperation. |  |  |
