WASHINGTON, June 21 (UPI) -- The United States does not plan to seize Pakistan's atomic weapons or send U.S. troops into the country, President Barack Obama said in an interview.
In an exclusive with the English-language Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Obama said he also believes Pakistan is strong enough to defeat Muslim extremists.
"The Pakistani military and the Pakistani government will not stand by idly as extremists attempt to disrupt the country," Obama said.
The interview this month covered a variety of subjects, including Obama's belief that India and Pakistan should resume talks stalled last year after terrorist attacks in Mumbai, Dawn reported Sunday. Intelligence reports suggested the terrorists had trained in Pakistan for the attacks, authorities said.
On Iran, Obama denied the United States was interfering in that country's internal affairs.
"It's unfortunate that there are some inside Iran and inside that government that want to use the West and the United States as an
excuse" for the unrest of the Iranian public, Obama said.
