U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta vowed action to stop a Pakistan-based militant group from staging “unacceptable” attacks in Afghanistan and then fleeing back to their haven across the border.

“I’m not going to talk about how we’re going to respond,” Panetta told reporters traveling with him yesterday to San Francisco. “I’ll just let you know we are not going to allow these kinds of attacks to go on.”
