Clinton urges Pakistan to implement reforms

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is warning Pakistan that it risks major instability and hampering the war effort in Afghanistan unless it implements broad reforms and stops fomenting anti-American sentiment.

In a speech Friday in New York, Clinton said Pakistani cooperation is critical to the success of the fight against Taliban and al-Qaida extremists in neighboring Afghanistan.

Clinton spoke amid an escalating diplomatic crisis with Pakistan over the killing of two Pakistanis by an American who was employed by the U.S. Embassy.
