They condemned the recent bombings in Pakistani tribal areas by U.S.-led coalition forces from neighboring Afghanistan. White House hopeful Barack Obama on July 15 promised to shift the 'single-minded' U.S. focus on Iraq to Al-Qaeda sanctuaries in tribal Pakistan as part of a sweeping new blueprint for U.S. foreign policy.
