  1. Pakistan may lose territory if growing militant influence not addressed: Tillerson (tribune, Dec 15, 2017)

    “… Speaking at the Atlantic Council, Tillerson stressed that the US was more ‘concerned’ about stability in Pakistan. He said he had warned the leadership of Pakistan that it may become a target. “They [militant organisations] may turn their attention from Kabul and decide they like Islamabad as a target better.”
