Pakistan's Parliament condemns US raid to kill Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad

Pakistan's parliament on Saturday adopted a resolution condemning the US raid that killed Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad city.


"Parliament condemned the unilateral action in Abbottabad which constitutes a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty," voanews.com quoted the resolution, as saying.

Bin Laden, who had evaded capture for a decade, was killed by US Special Forces in a top secret operation in Abbottabad, located 50 kilometres northeast of Islamabad and 150 kilometres east of Peshawar, on May 2.

The Saudi-born terrorist, 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. (ANI)
