US Ambassador addressing Students of Sindh University

HYDERABAD/JAMSHORO: US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter said on Tuesday the Pakistan government should answer what Osama bin Laden was doing on Pakistani soil.
Talking to the media after addressing the students of Sindh University, Munter said the US was cooperating and aiding Pakistan in the war on terror and the situation right now was at its lowest ebb.

He said Pakistan needed to provide answers about what OBL was doing in the country and why law enforcement agencies had failed to locate him. Munter said that although relations saw a decline in the last few months, the two countries had the same interests and hoped the future relations between them would improve.

He said OBL was an international terrorist who was killed while the war on terror would continue so that more terrorists could be eliminated. Munter said all peace-loving countries should cooperate with the US. He expressed happiness on visiting Jamshoro and said the hospitality and friendship extended to him in these difficult times was heartwarming. —Online
