Pak to bear more US attacks on its soil

Posted by jony at 8:10 AM . Thursday, February 26, 2009

Pakistan will have to bear more US attacks on its soil.

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said missile strikes in Pak will continue in an effort to root out Al-Qaida members.

Asked whether Pakistan was aware of the renewed attacks, the Defense Secretary simply said 'yes'.

Gates was speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee in his first comments to Congress as US President Barack Obama's defense secretary.

The US has carried out at least 30 such attacks on Pakistan in 2008, after what it saw was Pakistan's failure to stem the flow of Al-Qaida fighters into its territory.
