Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan: Hillary Clinton

* US taxes everything, and 'that's not what we see in Pakistan'
* Pakistan must start planning for challenges posed by population growth
* US secretary of state meets COAS

LAHORE: The leadership of Al Qaeda is in Pakistan, US Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.

"I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where
they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to," she added.

"Maybe that's the case; maybe they're not gettable. I don't know... As
far as we know, they are in Pakistan," Clinton told senior Pakistani
newspaper editors in Lahore, AFP reported. "The percentage of taxes on
GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world... We (the United
States) tax everything that moves and doesn't move, and that's not
what we see in Pakistan," she said.

"You do have 180 million people. Your population is projected to be
about 300 million. And I don't know what you're going to do with that
kind of challenge, unless you start planning right now," she said.

"If we are going to have a mature partnership where we work together"
then "there are issues that not just the United States but others have
with your government and with your military security establishment".

Separately, Clinton also met army chief General Ashfaq Kayani and
exchanged views on a host of security-related issues. afp/sajjad malik
