Pakistan will have to face 'very severe' results: Abdullah

He said that Pakistan will have to face "very severe" results if it continues fostering terrorism on its soil.

"If they couldn't create a Pakistan for 75 years, how would it be possible now?... It is time to end terrorism, otherwise the results will be very severe... How will talks be held if they kill our innocent people?" the leader added.

"This attack was very unfortunate... Immigrant poor labourers and a doctor lost their lives. What will the terrorists get from this? Do they think they will be able to create a Pakistan here... We are trying to put this to an end so we can move on from the misery,"  Abdullah said.
