 WASHINGTON: United States has assured Pakistani officials not to launch strikes against Taliban in Pakistani administrated regions bordering Afghanistan here on Late Thursday.
This Husain Haqqani, Pakistani Ambassador to US, told Geo News after he met with US front line officials in Washington.
He said “US officials have assured me not to launch strikes on Taliban hideouts by US-led NATO forces within Pakistan territory” denouncing those repots published in US newspapers that declared President Bush’s silent approval to extend ground strikes against Taliban hideouts in Pakistan.
