US to continue drone strikes on Pak’s soil | The United States has no intention of stopping drone strikes on Pakistan’s soil, officials have said. An American newspaper quoted officials as saying that drones strikes will
continue against militants and their hideouts in Pakistan . Meanwhile, the White
House is considering issuing an official apology over the deadly November 26 airstrike
that had killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. The development comes after a joint sitting
of the Pakistan Parliament approved the recommendations presented by the Parliamentary
Committee on National Security (PCNS) in connection with the terms of engagement
with the US . “The relationship with USA should be based on mutual respect for
each other's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity," The News quoted
PCNS chairman Raza Rabbani, as saying He added the US footprint in Pakistan must
be reviewed, and called for an immediate halting of drone attacks and infiltration
into Pakistani territory on any pretext including hot-pursuit. He said Pakistani
territory including its airspace shall not be used for transportation of arms
and ammunition to Afghanistan.
