Kerry Arrives in Pakistan for Security Talks
Secretary of State John Kerry arrived here on Monday for wide-ranging security and economic talks, almost one month after the Pakistani Taliban carried out a devastating attack on a crowded school in Peshawar.
Mr. Kerry will be joined by Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, the head of the United States Central Command, and he will meet with Pakistan’s top civilian and military leaders.
Pakistan responded to the school attack, which left more than 140 dead, by mounting an offensive against the militant group in North Waziristan and by announcing a “national action plan” that establishes military tribunals to try terrorists.
