WASH DC: US-led forces in Afghanistan will move into Pakistani territory to destroy Taliban and other extremist groups if Islamabad cannot do the job by itself, the US envoy in Afghanistan warned Monday.

"We have told the Pakistani leadership that either they must solve this problem or we will have to do it for ourselves," said Zalmay Khalilzad, also the special presidential envoy in Kabul.

Khalilzad said the US-led coalition was prepared to help Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.

"We prefer that Pakistan takes responsibility, and the Pakistani government agrees," he said.

"However, one way or the other, this problem will have to be dealt with," he added.

New 'al-Qaeda' warning on Iraq


An audiotape allegedly recorded by a Jordanian-born al-Qaeda suspect, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has threatened attacks on US commanders in Iraq.
The tape - aired on an Islamist website - also claimed responsibility for a number of high-profile attacks there.

Zarqawi's whereabouts are unknown, but the website had a transcript heading that said he was in Iraq.

Washington has accused the 38-year-old of masterminding a string of suicide bombings in Iraq.

On Tuesday, Zarqawi was one of eight Islamic militants to be sentenced to death by a Jordanian court for killing a US government official, Laurence Foley, in Amman in October 2002.
