RAWALPINDI : Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General
Khalid Shameem Wynne canceled his scheduled visit to United States of
America.
Gen Shameem informed his US counterpart that due to prevailing situation in Pakistan arising after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden it is not possible for him to carry out the scheduled May 22-27 visit.
Military official said that the visit to the United States had been
on the invitation of US Chairman Joint Chief’s of Staff Admiral Mike
Mullen and was scheduled a couple of months ago. Wynne informed Mullen
by telephone that he would not be coming; the official added but
declined to give any further details.
Pakistanis have been outraged at the perceived impunity of the US
raid, while asking whether their military was too incompetent to know
bin Laden was living close to a major forces academy, or, worse,
conspired to protect him.
According to a private TV channel Pakistan has decided to not give
access to US to investigate Osama Bin Laden’s widows and Pakistan would
not return material of crashed helicopter of US. SANA
