ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's Foreign Ministry says that Pakistani-U.S.
teams will carry out joint operations and share intelligence in the
campaign against militants.
The announcement
suggests the United States and Pakistan are having some success in
trying to repair ties following the unilateral American raid that
killed Osama bin Laden.
A statement late
Thursday from ministry spokeswoman Tehmina Janjua said the teams will
share intelligence but that it doesn't necessarily mean U.S. troops
would be allowed on Pakistani soil.
The
Associated Press reported the plans for a joint intelligence team on
Wednesday. The team is expected to draw in part on any intelligence
emerging from materials gathered from bin Laden's hideout in the
Pakistani city of Abbottabad. AP
