"Pak alone to take action if Osama located in the country"
Islamabad, Oct 9 : If Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was located in Pakistan, the
country's security forces would alone take action, and no outside forces would be allowed
to breach Pakistan's sovereignty, the country's Information Minister Sherry Rehman has
said.
She said that the NATO forces should share intelligence about Osama's presence inside
Pakistani territory, if any, after which, she promised, Pakistani security forces would
pursue the target.
"If our allies share intelligence with us over high-value targets we will pursue them
on the ground. However, we will not allow anyone to challenge our sovereignty and no
country should violate Pakistan's territorial integrity," the Daily Times quoted Sherry as
saying in response to comments by US presidential candidates John McCain and Barack
Obama.
While Obama has expressed wish to attack Pakistan in search for Qaeda and Taliban
militants, McCain has said that if he became the US president, he would hold talks with
Pakistan and allow it to take action in conjunction with US forces.
