America will change policies towards Pakistan, Afghanistan: Obama

After attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in Pakistan, US President Barack Obama has expressed deep concern about an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan, saying the country's frontier regions still remain safe havens for Al Qaeda terrorists and his government was reviewing policies towards that region.

'The details are still coming in, and so I don't want to be too specific’, Obama told reporters Tuesday after meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. 'O bviously we're deeply concerned.'

'The truth is that the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated, the safe havens for Al Qaeda remain in the frontier regions of Pakistan and we are conducting currently a comprehensive review of our policies,' he said.

Obama said the review looked at US policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan and coordination with NATO allies and other members of the international security force in Afghanistan.

He would make announcements ahead of the NATO summit in April about 'the direction the United States would like to go,' he said. 'What I'm confident in is that our strongest partner in that effort once again will be the United Kingdom' and Brown.

'We condemn this vicious attack on innocent civilians but also on the positive relations that Pakistan and Sri Lanka are trying to enjoy,' he said. 'This is an attack on peaceful, normal relations, and we utterly condemn this terrorist attack.'
