US military not needed to track Osama: Orakzai
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan does not need US-led coalition forces based in Afghanistan to help them capture Osama Bin Laden on home soil, NWFP Governor Jan Orakzai said on Tuesday.
“If Osama’s presence is confirmed in any part of our area adjoining Afghanistan, or for that matter anywhere in Pakistan, we have these troops stationed there to carry out that job,” the governor told a press conference. “We have not deployed our 80,000 troops for nothing. They are there for a purpose,” he said. “We are guarding practically all the possible crossing routes.”
“We have our friends with electronic intelligence,” Mr Orakzai said. “We have our own means of electronic intelligence. And the political administration has its own intelligence system.” afp/ap
