Pakistan seeks clarification on Karzai’s remarks
ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Thursday reacted sharply to Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s suggestion of a NATO operation inside Pakistan, saying the comments were “incomprehensible”. Talking to reporters, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said Pakistan had asked its ambassador in Kabul to seek clarifications from the Afghan government about the remarks. He said during the last two years, Pakistan and Afghanistan had been cooperating closely with each other against terrorism. “We don’t see any reason as to why these remarks should have been made by the Afghan President,” he said. He said the malicious campaign against Pakistan had been going on for years, but at official levels in the West, Pakistan’s contribution in counter-terrorism was duly acknowledged. staff report
