US ambassador in Pakistan Cameron Munter has said in unequivocal terms that Pakistan has to decide wisely whether it would take action against Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and spiritual leader of Taliban Mullah Omar with support of Obama administration otherwise US would do it unilaterally.
In an exclusive interview to a Private TV Channel, the US ambassador said, Pakistan needs to answer the question about existence of Osama in Pakistan and relations between both countries depend on these answers.
“We are committed to fight against terrorism. Our friends in Pakistan are committed to do exactly the same thing.
When asked about another unilateral action in Pakistan like Abbotabad to hunt Zawahiri or Mullah Omar Cameron said “I think it can happen”.
Responding to another question, he said, “There is a conversation between the Pakistani people and American people. Both of them want answers. Both of them want to know whether Pakistani leadership knew about Osama being here and if not, than why not. These kinds of question need to be answered. If these questions could be answered it could be an opportunity to work together”.
“I am hoping that Pakistan decides to work together. Healthy debate takes place in Pakistan about how we can and should cooperate”, he said, adding that, we should work together to hunt down those people who are challenging our safety. We are facing common challenges.
Admitting Pakistan’s leading role in war against terrorism, the US ambassador said, “Pakistan has paid heavy price in war against terrorism”.
