| US intends to pound Pakistan and Iran’s nuclear installations SLAMABAD: US intends to pound Pakistan and Iran’s nuclear bases through air strikes, former army chief General Mirza Aslam Beg has warned. Talking to Radio Tehran, General Beg said that the US and its western allies had understood that the peaceful usage of atomic energy was the recognised right of Iran on the basis of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. He said that the issue would not be presented before the UN Security Council, however, if it were then the United States would be defeated and Iran would be victorious. He said that Iran and Pakistan should hide their nuclear assets to protect them from possible US air strikes US does not care for Pakistan’s sovereignty ISLAMABAD: The United States does not care for the sovereignty of Pakistan and attacks the country whenever it wants, former Inter Services Intelligence director general Gen Hameed Gul has said. Talking to Radio Tehran, he said the United States wanted to hunt Al Qaeda remnants in Pakistan. There has been hot debate and protests on this issue in Pakistan but President Pervez Musharraf was evading it one way or the other, he said. He said that such policies had done great damage to the Pakistan Army and the people. He said the US recently attacked Bajaur Agency and killed 18 people |
