Pakistan warns America not to stage any more raids
Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir warns America of “disastrous consequences” if more Laden-like raids are carried out in the country.
The Pakistani army and the government have been criticized for Monday’s raid on the compound of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, with many angry over the violation of the country’s sovereignty and doubtful of government claims it was not aware of the raid. Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir said on Thursday “there shall not be any doubt that any repetition of such an act will have disastrous consequences.” He also informed that the episode was a covert operation by United States and his country was not part of it. “Pakistan was not consulted,” he said.
