The US has made it clear that it is not directly involved in talks between India and Pakistan but encourages them to resume their peace dialogue. The United States said that it also wants Islamabad to rein in terror outfits like the LeT. The Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake, said in Washington, that, as a friend of both of those countries, the United States, again, welcomes those dialogues, but not directly involved in the talks. He said that one of the most important things to work on is the issue of terrorism because it threatens not only both India and Pakistan, but also the US.<br/><br/>Blake said, the US thinks that a group like Lashkar-e-Taiba, widely believed to have been responsible for the bombings in Mumbai, is a terrorist group based in Pakistan that has increasingly global ambitions and global scope. He said that it's in the interest of Pakistan to rein in the activities of LeT. Blake said this in an interview to the popular Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.
