Obama reserves right to act again in Pak: White House

Updated at: 0741 PST,  Thursday, May 05, 2011  WASHINGTON: The White House has said that US President Barack Obama reserves the right to act again against top terror suspects inside Pakistan, following the raid which killed Osama bin Laden. Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney was asked whether the president would be prepared to target fugitives again if they were on Pakistani soil, despite Islamabad’s complaints the bin Laden raid was unauthorised and unilateral. “He made very clear during the campaign that that was his view. He was criticised for it,” Carney said. “He maintained that that was his view and, by the actions he has taken as president, feels that it was the right approach and continues to feel that way,” he said. US officials have said that they gave no prior notice to Pakistan before Sunday’s daring raid, in which special forces killed the world’s most wanted man in Abbottabad.
