ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani government has assured the United Stated that it won’t review relations with it after killing of Tehrik-i-Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud in a missile strike, highly placed sources said on Thursday.
On Saturday, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali said announced that Pakistan will review its relations with the US in response to the drone strike that killed Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud in the restive North Waziristan tribal agency which Nisar described as an attack on peace process.
Sources said that the decision of not to review Pak-US ties was taken by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Moreover, sources said that Pakistani authorities told the US that death of any terrorist cannot harm the relations between both the countries. The US was also told that whatever the interior minister said about Pak-US ties was his personal opinion, sources added.
