DUBAI, May 7: Former president Pervez Musharraf has slammed the United States for violating Pakistan's sovereignty in carrying out the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, a media report said on Saturday.

The former military strongman told the expatriate Pakistan community in Dubai that all “peace loving people” should be happy that Bin Laden was killed, but no Pakistani accepted the violation of their sovereignty.

“...no country will accept such a violation by the US, which undermines Pakistan's sovereignty, army and intelligence,” Gen Musharraf was quoted as saying in The National daily. “This is not acceptable to any Pakistani individual.”

However, Gen Musharraf insisted that Pakistan and the US must work together to eliminate terrorism.—AFP
