US-Pakistan to cooperate on future targets: FO

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said Monday it would work together with the United States on any future operations against high-value targets in the country, in the wake of the row over Osama bin Laden’s killing.

“It was agreed that all tracks of US-Pakistan engagement need to be revisited, with a view to creating a clear understanding on ways and means to carry forward their cooperation,” said the foreign ministry.

“It was also agreed that the two countries will work together in any future actions against high-value targets in Pakistan.”

Pakistan has been in the grip of domestic and international crisis since US Navy SEALs flew in, seemingly undetected, from Afghanistan to kill the Saudi-born Al-Qaeda terror mastermind two hours' from the capital on May 2.

Pakistanis have expressed horror at the perceived impunity of the raid, furiously asking if their military was too incompetent to know he was living in a garrison city near the capital, or, even worse, conspired to protect him.
