ISLAMABAD, Jan 29: Rejecting a news report suggesting that Pakistan would agree to a US military offensive inside Pakistan, along the Pakistan-Afghan border, Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan said, "the report is absolutely incorrect."

To a question, the spokesman said that there was no such possibility. The President of Pakistan has recently made it clear that there was no room for foreign troops assisting Pakistan, inside Pakistani territory.

He added that on the Pakistani side of the border, Pakistani forces would continue to conduct their operations, against suspected terrorists, exclusively without the participation of foreign troops.

"We have the requisite intelligence network, technical back-up, and forces to conduct such operations, which have produced concrete results in the past", the Spokesman said.

The spokesman also firmly ruled out hot pursuit over the Afghanistan border or staging of operations from Pakistan into Afghanistan. "This was just wild speculation. Nothing more," he said.-APP
