Pervez Musharraf, the former military ruler of Pakistan, has described Osama bin Laden’s death as a positive development; however, he criticized the US for conducting aggressive military operations within Pakistan.
Musharraf remarked, “The crossing of American troops into Pakistan from Afghanistan and launching operations in Attabad is a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. This is a highly sensitive issue.”
He further stated that the majority of the Pakistani population would likely feel relieved by bin Laden’s death, though he acknowledged that the extremist minority might react negatively.
Meanwhile, the CIA has issued a warning that al-Qaeda will ‘almost certainly’ seek retribution following the death of their leader, Osama bin Laden, during a US-led operation in Pakistan.
The mastermind behind the September 11th attacks was laid to rest at sea early Monday morning, after being shot at a villa in Abbottabad.
Leon Panetta, the CIA Director, stated, “Although bin Laden is dead, al-Qaeda remains. The terrorists will almost certainly try to avenge him.”
