US pledges assistance to investigate Afghanistan Pakistan allegations
Updated
The United States president George W Bush has pledged assistance to investigate Afghan President Hamid Karzai's accusation that Pakistani agents are involved in attacks in his country.
His promise comes two days after nine American soldiers were killed and 15 wounded after insurgents attacked a remote base in Afghanistan, in the deadliest attack against US forces in the country for three years.
Mr Bush says he'll discuss the fight against terrorism with Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani when he visits the White House this month.
"No question, however, that some extremists are coming out of parts of Pakistan into Afghanistan and that's troubling to us, it's troubling to Afghanistan, and it should be troubling to Pakistan," he said.
"We share a common enemy - extremists who use violence to either disrupt democracy or prevent democracy from taking hold."
