U.S. Ambassador Cameron Munter was summoned to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, where an official protest was issued to him.
Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Secretary, Salman Bashir, officially stated that the May 2 operation to assassinate Osama bin Laden was an attack on Pakistan. He added the Pakistan will not tolerate any future operations from the U.S., without consultation.
Ambassador Munter said it was regretful that the U.S. did not consult with the Pakistani government before the operation.
The May 2 operation, and the fact that U.S. drone attacks continue, is splitting the Pakistani government. Several political parties in the Pakistani Parliament, are calling for an end to relations with the U.S.
