Pakistani PM warns of foreign elements' interference in tribal areas
2008-07-15
(Xinhua) -- Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani Monday expressed his concerns about attacks similar to the 9.11 attack if foreign extremists continue to interfere in Pakistan's tribal regions.

Endorsing the concern of the United States on Pakistan's tribal areas, Gilani said, "it is a matter of concern that extremists from Chechnya, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan arrive in the tribal areas."

"These people are disturbing our peace," Gilani told reporters after awarding certificates to the motorway police here.

The News Network International news agency quoted Gilani as saying that the United States agreed with Pakistan's policy about tribal regions and he did not want another 9.11 attack in the future.

The United States supports Pakistani government's policy on combating terrorism and extremism in the country and it has its own concerns over the involvement of foreign elements in terrorist activities on Pakistani soil so that there are no major mishaps infuture, said Gilani.

Pakistan would never allow anyone to carry operations against the terrorists on its soil, he said.
