Washington has reportedly conveyed the message that the Obama administration will no longer tolerate safe havens for terrorists in Pakistan to President Asif Ali Zardari.
Senior US officials have told Zardari during a series of secret meetings that President Barack Obama claims the cancer of terrorism exists in Pakistan, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The meetings took place in Islamabad after US officials blamed the failed Time Square attempt in New York a US citizen of Pakistani descent.
The report comes as Western media reports said that the Pakistan-based militants were planning simultaneous strikes in major European cities.
However, Pakistani military s***esman Major General Athar Abbas has dismissed the reports as speculative.
"We don't have any credible information from sources that any such planning is taking place or terrorists are planning anything in North Waziristan."
North Waziristan, one of the most volatile regions in Pakistan, has been targeted more than 65 times this year alone by unmanned US drones, with September seeing more attacks than any other month since the unauthorized strikes began.
These non-UN-sanctioned attacks by US troops, which were initiated by former US president George W. Bush and have continued under President Obama, have drastically increased in recent weeks at a time when devastating floods have taken their toll on the South Asian country.
The developments also come days after two helicopters operated by the US-led forces in Afghanistan crossed into Pakistan's volatile tribal areas, killing at least 50 people.
Experts believe that Obama's harsh tone suggests that the US and its Western allies are expanding their military agenda and occupation policy in the name of war on terror across the volatile region.
