Pakistan parliament condemns U.S.-led attack
The Pakistan Parliament condemned an American-led attack in Pakistani territory today after the government summoned the U.S. ambassador to protest the unusually bold raid in a troubled border region.
The same area was hit by a deadly missile strike today, and a man who lives nearby said he later saw Taliban militants surround the site.
The criticism grew two days before Asif Ali Zardari is expected to be chosen as president in a vote by legislators. A spokesman said Zardari condemned Wednesday’s pre-dawn assault in the South Waziristan tribal region. It killed at least 15 people, officials say, and was the first known foreign ground assault in Pakistan against a Taliban haven.
But Zardari also said Pakistan stands with the U.S. against international terrorism.
