ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan is backing off suggestions it might confront U.S. troops making raids into its territory in search of Islamic militants, saying Saturday it will deal diplomatically with Washington over the stepped-up tactics.
Although officials are still unhappy over a recent surge in attacks aimed at Taliban and al-Qaida havens in Pakistan's tribal areas near the Afghan border, they also seem to realize there's not much they can do other than try to convince the U.S. that the strategy is counterproductive because it is generating sympathy for the militants and public anger against both governments due to civilian casualties.
President Bush secretly approved more aggressive cross-border operations in July, current and former American officials have told The Associated Press.
Since Aug. 13 there have been at least seven reported missile strikes as well as a raid by helicopter-borne U.S. commandos that Pakistani officials claim killed 15 civilians in tribally governed territory where the government has little control. The frontier region is considered a likely hiding place for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri.
Opposition lawmakers raised the prospect Friday of Pakistan pulling out of the war on terror if the U.S. refuses to respect its borders.
