KABUL (AFP) – US Senator John Kerry said Sunday relations with key ally Pakistan were at a "critical moment" as he headed from Kabul to Islamabad as the first senior US visitor since the death of Osama bin Laden.
Kerry said he was ready to listen to Pakistan's leaders but the discovery of the Al-Qaeda chief living close to Islamabad meant that talks had to "resolve some very serious issues."
Pakistan's government, intelligence services and military have been widely accused of incompetence or complicity over the presence of bin Laden, who was killed by US commandos in a covert raid on May 2.
"We need to find a way to march forward if it is possible. If it is not possible, there are a set of downside consequences that can be profound," said Kerry, whose trip to the region has been endorsed by President Barack Obama.
