The US hasn't provided the Pakistan government any actionable intelligence concerning the regrouping and training of al Qaeda.

"We would firmly act to eliminate any Al-Qaida hideout on the basis of specific intelligence or information," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"It does not help simply to make assertions about the presence or regeneration of Al-Qaida in bordering areas of Pakistan. What is needed is concrete and actionable information and intelligence sharing," it said.
