Pakistan regrets U.S. 'unilateral' operation in Abbottabad

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Monday regretted the 'unilateral' operation by the United States in Abbottabad that killed al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.

According to the APP news agency, Gilani also warned the U.S. that any attack on strategic assets would be retaliated with full force. The PM, addressing the National Assembly, added that the U.S. operation used its technological advances to evade radar detection.

The PM said that an investigation into the presence of bin Laden in Abbottabad was initiated as the terrorist leader managed to no evade all local agencies, including the Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI).

Gilani previously discussed the issue with President Asif Ali Zardari and the Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. He announced that on May 13, the parliament will meet to enact a new policy to safeguard the nation from outside threats.

"Pakistan will not relent in this national cause and was determined not to let its soil be used for terrorism," added the Prime Minister. "The Pakistani government did not invite Osama to Pakistan."

On Sunday, Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani, said that Islamabad would have taken action against the al-Qaeda presence in Abbottabad, if it knew that bin Laden was hiding there.

Bin Laden, who is believed to have ordered the attacks of September 11, 2001, was killed on Sunday during a secret U.S. mission at a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad. It is believed to be a major blow to the organization and was welcomed by leaders around the world.

err... that was for the Pakistanis a good occasion to shut up.

How many minutes you think it would take for Bin Laden to be warned after the US tell the Pakistani intelligence services about the planned raid?
