'Tirade against Pakistan can hit war on terror'
Tuesday, January 16, 2007 06:29 [IST]

musharraf Islamabad: Pakistan's cooperation with the international community in the war against terror could suffer on account of unfounded allegations made against his country, President Pervez Musharraf has said.

 

Musharraf described as "baseless" allegation by US Maj. Gen. Benjamin Freakley that Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani was operating from Pakistan, which has also come under attack from Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

 

The president stressed Monday that the "unprecedented sacrifices" of his country in the war on terrorism cannot be ignored at any cost, Online news agency reported.

 

Musharraf was addressing a high-level meeting to review the situation on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and establishment of economic opportunities with US cooperation in tribal areas.

 

He explained that the main objective behind the decision to fence and mine the border with Afghanistan was to stop the movement of anti-state elements.

 

He added that Canada's recommendations of using alternative means to control the border instead of fencing and mining would be considered.
