US Should Stop Drone Attacks: Foreign Minister of Pakistan
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said Pakistan has demanded United States to stop drone attacks in Pakistan tribal areas.
In a chat with British radio Qureshi said Pakistan has extended full cooperation to the United States in the war on terrorism and efforts underway to curb militancy in the country.
The foreign minister said that the NATO and ISAF troops could not act in Pakistani territory as they have a limited mandate.
US envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke in meetings in Islamabad replied positively over Pakistan’s demand of stopping the drone attacks and President Barack Obama would inform Islamabad about the new strategy soon, Qureshi added.
