Of President General Pervez Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Scott McClellan said "that's what both leaders have been committed to doing recently." He said this while responding to a question at the daily Press briefing.
In terms of the border issues and relations with neighbouring countries, he added "we encourage dialogue between India and Pakistan."
The Spokesman added "there is certainly a lot to still be addressed, and everybody has a responsibility to do their part to crack down on terrorism. And we can all do more in that regard."
To a question about bomb blasts in India recently, he said that he spoke out over the weekend about the terrorist attacks that took place in New Delhi.
"They are heinous terrorist attacks and our thoughts are with the families of the victims. There are a number of people that were killed, there are a number of people that were wounded in those attacks."
"And we always stand committed to doing everything we can to help bring people to justice for carrying out such attacks," he added.
Replying to a question as to whether was Osama bin Laden dead or alive. The White House Spokesman said "he's (OBL) someone that we continue to pursue and to bring to justice for the crimes against humanity that he has committed, and the crimes he has committed against the American people."
"We have brought to justice in one way or another some three-quarters of the more senior al Qaeda leadership and associates, and we continue to pursue individuals," he said, adding: "We have made great progress in disrupting and dismantling the al Qaeda terrorist network." He, however, declared that "there is much that remains to be done."
"We remain engaged in an ideological struggle with radical Islamists who seek to spread their hateful ideology throughout the broader Middle East." "And we will prevail in this war on terrorism," the Spokesman added.
McClellan added: "We're working closely with many nations in that, but we continue to pursue those individuals and they will be brought to justice for the terrorist attacks that they are responsible for and the killing of thousands of innocent civilians."
