US okay with Indian fencing along border

The US has backed India for erecting fences along the the Indo-Pak border and LoC to stop infiltration in Jammu and kashmir and said Pakistan must end cross-border terrorism and dismantle terrorist training camps.

US State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said that just because the US does not like the Israeli fence on the West Bank, it does not mean that all fences like the Indian fence along the Indo-Pak border are ‘‘bad’’. ‘‘I have to reject the contention that it (the Indian fence) is just like (the Israeli fence) in the West Asia,’’ Boucher said at a briefing.
