UNITED NATIONS, JAN. 10. The United Nations Security Council has not favourably reacted to Pakistan's request that it intervene to defuse Indo-Pak. tension and asked Islamabad to crack down on terrorist groups operating in Kashmir.

There is no ``support for Pakistan's request among the Security Council's 15 members, who stress that it is a bilateral issue and needs to be resolved between the two countries'', Council diplomats said.

The Pakistan Ambassador to the United Nations, Shamshad Ahmed Khan, had sought the U.N. Security Council's intervention to ease Indo-Pak. tension during a meeting with the Council President for the current month, Ambassador Jugdish Koonjal Dharmachand of Mauritius.
