State sponsors accountable: Bush

Washington: U.S. President George W. Bush has warned that state sponsors of terror are as guilty as the terrorists and will be held accountable. He acknowledged terrorists continued to pose “serious challenges” as evident by Mumbai terror attacks.

“We have made clear that governments that sponsor terror are as guilty as the terrorists and will be held to account,” said Mr. Bush without naming a country. “We must stand by the friends who are making tough decisions and taking risks to defeat the terrorists. We must keep up the pressure on regimes that sponsor terror and pursue weapons of mass destruction,” he said on Tuesday. — PTI
