As leaks by a whistleblower site laid bare past
As leaks by a whistleblower site laid bare past links between the Pakistani spy agency ISI and terror outfits, the United States asked Islamabad to punish those behind 26/11 Mumbai attacks to convince India it has changed.
'Combating terrorism is an element of our relationship with India; likewise with Pakistan; likewise with Afghanistan,' State Department spokesman Phillip Crowley told reporters Monday.
'We believe strongly that the proof is in what people do, not what people say,' he said when asked to comment on India's charge that Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, still backed terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let), Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
