The United States has asserted that India does have the right to self-defence and asked Pakistan to control activities of the terrorists in the country.
"India has a legitimate right to self-defence," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said.
Replying to a question if India could attack training camps in Pakistan, using a variant of the Bush doctrine, Fleischer said US President George W Bush has urged both sides "to share information, work with each other, and take no action that would in any way hinder the war against terrorism, to which both India and Pakistan have committed themselves."
Meanwhile, the US State Department has asked Pakistan to "address terrorist activities within their borders, especially the activities of militant groups."
"Pakistan needs to be concerned about the activities of militant groups within its border and needs to take appropriate action on its part," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said.
