Islamabad, Pakistan: June 16, 2008 – IR Summary/Agenies/AP -   Pakistan has sharply reacted on President Hamid Karzai's threat to send Afghan troops to fight Taliban leaders inside Pakistan and summoned Afghan Ambassador Mohammed Anwar Anwarzai to lodge a strong protest over Karzaia’s threat. The new Pak govt. may not control the deteriorating situation. Their more attention is to hang Musharraf  rather than doing some constructive work for the country.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi issued a statement that Karzai's comments were "threatening" and "regrettable." He further said that Pakistan has the capability of defending its territorial sovereignty."

Karzai told a news conference in Kabul on Sunday that Afghanistan has a right to send troops into Pakistan because Taliban militants cross over from Pakistan to attack Afghan and foreign forces.

Karzai added that Afghan forces would target Taliban leaders Mullah Omar and Baitullah Mehsud in Pakistan.

Omar is the supreme leader of the hardline militia, wh was ousted from power in Afghanistan in the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 for hosting al-Qaida. Kabul claims Pakistan shelters Omar, but Islamabad maintains the elusive Omar is in Afghanistan.
Mehsud is the most prominent leader of Pakistani Taliban militants.

He was accused in last year's assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, an allegation he denied. Mehsud, whose stronghold is Pakistan's South Waziristan tribal region, recently, told reporters that he is sending fighters to battle U.S. troops in Afghanistan. its territorial sovereignty."

The Party Spokesman Zahid Khan said. "The fact is that people like Baitullah Mehsud and even his spokesman are claiming to sending people (militants) to Afghanistan."
Khan said Pakistan's federal government should take steps to clear its tribal areas of pro-Taliban elements.

"Today, only Afghanistan is talking about sending troops (to Pakistan), and if the government doesn't address the Afghan concerns, then the whole world may join them tomorrow in this matter."

The situation looks to slipping from Pak hands, they are unable to control the infiltratrators, the new govt. in Pakistan is not strong enough to control them.
