Rice meets Pak FM amid Afghan border row

Kasuri's State Department visit came days after Afghanistan's foreign minister used an appearance in the US capital to urge Pakistan to do more to curb what he said were terrorists moving across the nations' mutual frontier.

Both Rice and Kasuri said they were committed to a full examination of relations between Washington and Islamabad, which the Bush administration strong-armed into being an early ally in its "war on terror" launched in 2001.
