More Abbottabad-like raids not to be tolerated: COAS

Updated at: 1920 PST,  Thursday, May 05, 2011  ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has said that more raids like the one in Abbotabad would not be tolerated, ISPR press released said. According to the ISPR press release issued Thursday, the acknowledgement came after army chief of staff General Ashfaq Kayani convened a meeting of corps commanders on the fourth day after US commandos tracked down and killed bin Laden in Abbottabad. In a meeting, COAS threatened to review cooperation with the United States if it conducted more raids like the one that killed Osama bin Laden. "COAS made it clear that any similar action violating the sovereignty of Pakistan will warrant a review on the level of military/intelligence cooperation with the United States," Kayani said. It was also decided in a meeting that the investigation into intelligence failures to detect the world’s most wanted man on the soil would be conducted.
