Pakistani
parliamentary committee is reviewing the troubled relationship with the
United States amid outrage over a NATO raid in November that mistakenly
killed 24 Pakistani soldiers near the Afghan border at Salala.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, in an interview with Time magazine released Wednesday, said that the upcoming report would recognize the importance of US ties but "will redefine what is uncompromisable for Pakistan." "It is the parliament of Pakistan that must decide whether it is time for military action in one area or not," she said.Asked what Pakistan's red lines would be, she said: "No unilateral action at any level, of any type. Like Abbottabad. Like what happened in Salala."
US forces killed Osama bin Laden in a raid in May in Abbottabad, which is home to Pakistan's top military academy. US officials gave no advance warning out of fear that Pakistan may have stopped the raid or tipped off bin Laden.
