Powell says global campaign
includes terrorism against India

US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday declared that Washington's fight against terrorism included terrorist activities directed against India.

"I assure that the international coalition's efforts to fight terrorism includes terrorism directed against India as well," Powell said at a joint news conference with External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh in New Delhi.

Powell said the focus of the US-led international coalition against terrorism is to "eradicate" the Al Qaeda network and to ensure that Afghanistan is no more a safe haven for terrorists.

"We will achieve that goal. President George Bush and the international coalition will persist and prevail in this global campaign," Powell said.

He said India and the US are united in their fight against terrorism.
