| Paks warn against supporting Northern Alliance |
| 2001-09-25 |
Pakistan on Tuesday warned the United States against pumping cash and weapons into the opposition forces fighting Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, saying it would be a recipe for disaster. Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar said Pakistan was greatly concerned at requests by the Northern Alliance -- a disparate grouping of anti-Taliban forces -- for "foreign military assistance" in its fight against the Islamic militia. "We fear that any such decision on the part of any foreign power to give assistance to one side or another in Afghanistan is a recipe for great suffering for the people of Afghanistan," he told a joint press conference held with members of a visiting European Union delegation. |
