The US has welcomed the Pakistani government's decision to reinstate Iftikhar Chaudhry, the country's chief justice. The reaction came as Pakistani lawyers and opposition activists celebrated on Monday what they saw as a "people power" victory. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, said that Chaudhry's reinstatement would allow Islamabad to return its attention to the battle against Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters operating along its border with Afghanistan. A senior US state department official said earlier that Clinton, in her calls, raised the prospect that US legislators could back away from US economic aid for Pakistan because of the turmoil.
