US not interested in Pak's internal affairs: State Dept

"...our policy is to stay out of Pakistan's internal affairs. We've said that over and over again. Pakistan is a close ally. It has a new government. That Government is trying to find its way. It's sorting through a whole host of very difficult issues," State Department Spokesman Robert Wood said in his briefing.

"We want to cooperate very closely with Pakistan, as we've said over and over again, on the war against extremism.

And you can rest assured that the United States is there to support Pakistan as it tries to further consolidate its democracy," he added.
