Pakistan will hit Osama if it finds him, says Haqqani
  • Envoy says Islamabad will help thwart Qaeda's plans to attack US
  • Hopes next US president won't seek quick solution to militancy
    Pakistan will attack Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden the moment it has reliable intelligence on his whereabouts, Pakistani Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani said on Wednesday.

    He said in an interview that he was confident Pakistan could help foil any Al Qaeda plans to attack the US, adding that it had previously helped defeat many of the “several dozen” Al Qaeda plots detected worldwide since the September 11, 2001 attacks, and that Pakistan would act on its own against Al Qaeda, if necessary. “A co-operative effort between all the allies, and that includes Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States and NATO — I think we can thwart any potential plans for an attack,” he said. “If any of us had that actionable intelligence we would all act. We would act separately, we would act in tandem, we would act cooperatively — we would act,” he said.
