"We obviously wish to see no more terrorism emanating from Kashmiri separatist groups," Burns told reporters in Washington.

"We have told the Pakistani government that we would hope that the Pakistani government uses influence with these terrorist groups to curb and stop altogether any attacks on India," he said.

On the evidence India has shared with the US regarding Pakistan's involvement in the July 11 train bombings in Mumbai, Burns said the State Department is yet to study this in detail.
