Hillary Clinton, President Zardari agree to promote US-Pak ties

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has telephoned Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari to exchange views on the Abbottabad operation that killed Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and its fallout.
According to The News, Zardari informed Clinton about the reservations of the Pakistani parliamentarians over US' unilateral raid on May 2.
US President Barack Obama had ordered a raid by a small team of US Special Forces, which found bin Laden, who had evaded capture for a decade, in a home in a fortified compound in Abbottabad.
Bin Laden, accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, was at the top of the US "most wanted" list.
Clinton and Zardari also agreed upon cooperation in war on terrorism, and to promote US-Pak ties. (ANI)
