| Pakistan pledges not to let foreign troops into its territory | | |
Islamabad, Sep 21 Pakistan today pledged not to let foreign troops enter its territory a day after US President George W Bush said he would order American military action inside the country if Osama bin Laden was found hiding there.
Bush told CNN that he would authorize military action inside Pakistan if intelligence indicated that the al-Qaida leader bin Laden or other top terrorist were hiding here.
"....Inside Pakistan if there is any counter-terrorism action to be taken, it would be taken by the government of Pakistan solely and alone," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said reacting to Bush's remarks.
She said President Pervez Musharraf has already spoken on the issue and has made "our position absolutely clear" in this regard.
She said it was also "very speculative" that Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. "He is not and nobody knows where he is." |
