| 'NATO has right to hit back Pakistan militants' |
| 2008-07-25 |
| NATO will not enter Pakistan to hunt the Taliban insurgents but reserves the right to hit the militants if they attack alliance troops across the border in Afghanistan, NATO Secretary General Jaap De Hoop Scheffer said on Thursday. The existence of extremist sanctuaries is unacceptable and Pakistan should be a part of the "regional approach" to eliminate the global threat of terrorism, he said. Scheffer was visiting amid high tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan over a spate of violence, including the Indian embassy's bombing, which Kabul has blamed on its neighbour's intelligence agency. "The bottom line is that the present situation cannot be acceptable for anyone," Scheffer said after talks with President Hamid Karzai. "Let us practise a regional approach and let us involve all the regional actors here," he said. |
