ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday said that terrorism has no borders and expressed the hope that India will make fool-proof arrangements for the security of Cricket World Cup.

Commenting on news reports in the Indian media about planned terrorist attacks on the World Cup venues in India launched from Pakistani soil, Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua said that terrorism is a vicious phenomenon that all must collectively confront.

Pakistan, itself a victim of terrorism, takes all such reports seriously, she added.

Janjua said we have already conveyed our concerns about vituperative statements being made from within India about participation of Pakistan’s cricket team.Pakistan looks forward to the forthcoming meeting of Secretaries Interior and Home to discuss, inter-alia, counter-terrorism, she said.
