(Pakistani)Army warns US on new raid
The Nation(Pakistan) ^

Posted on 05/05/2011 7:10:51 PM PDT by milestogo

ISLAMABAD – Top commanders of the Pakistan Army have unanimously decided to reduce presence of US military personnel in the country to bare essential. Chairing the 138th Corps Commanders Conference held Thursday at General Headquarters, Rawalpindi, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, while discussing the US raid to kill Osama bin Laden, made it very clear that any similar action violating the sovereignty of Pakistan will warrant a review on the level of military and intelligence cooperation with the United States. As regards the possibility of similar hostile action against strategic assets, the commanders reaffirmed that, unlike an undefended civilian compound, “our strategic assets are well protected and an elaborate defensive mechanism is in place”. The commanders, taking serious note of the assertions made by Indian military leadership about conducting similar operations, made it very clear that any misadventure of this kind will be responded to very strongly. There should be no doubt about it. They reiterated the resolve to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan and to fight the menace of terrorism, with the support and help of the people of Pakistan. According to ISPR, the conference discussed one-point agenda – the Abbottabad incident in which Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces. The Forum discussed the incident and its implications on military-to-military relations with the United States. While admitting own shortcomings in developing intelligence on the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, it was highlighted that the achievements of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) against al-Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates in Pakistan, have no parallel. The Forum was informed that around 100 top level al-Qaeda leaders and operators were killed or arrested by the ISI, with or without support of the CIA.

Let's think this through for a moment.

We have a treasure-trove of intel form OBL’s computers.

Pakistan tells us no more raids.

Does this mean that Pakistan is hiding many other terrorist that we will soon find out where they are hiding?

Maybe that is why they have said no more raids. It would not be a total surprise?

Zawahiri is in Pak, somewhere, and the intel gathered may well pinpoint *his* location. They want to ensure that he doesn't share OBL's fate...
