Pakistan objects to US strikes | Herald Sun

Pakistan objects to US strikes | Herald Sun: "PAKISTAN said it could not accept 'indiscriminate action' on its territory by US forces without first being informed that there was an al-Qaeda or terrorist target there.
“We remain determined not to allow al-Qaeda or any other terrorist entity to establish a safe haven on our territory,” Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
“Whatever counter-terrorism action is to be taken inside Pakistan, it will be taken by our own security forces.”
White House spokesman Tony Snow said on Thursday that the US never ruled out any options when it came to striking against al-Qaeda or the Taliban."

The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon.

Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"
