'Pakistan does not support Haqqani Network for Afghan operations'

Islamabad, Aug. 12 (ANI): Pakistan does not support the Haqqani Network for their operations inside Afghanistan, officials have said.

"We have told the U.S. on several occasions that the Haqqanis are not our proxy warriors against the U.S.-led NATO forces," The News quoted the officials, as saying.

They also made it clear that no operation was in progress against the Haqqani Network in North Waziristan.

The officials also expressed surprise over reports of a possible joint operation with the U.S. forces in Waziristan.

"The policy of not allowing foreign boots on Pakistan soil remains the same and there is no change in it," an official said.

"How could it be that the foreign media announces that an operation is to be launched against the Haqqani Network and also reveals its top-secret code-name. They should get their facts straight," he added. (ANI)
