Pakistan warns against unilateral action on rebels
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said any unilateral action by U.S.-led
coalition forces against militants in the border region with Afghanistan will be

Musharraf told Singapore's The Straits Times that Islamabad will resist
any entry by coalition forces in the tribal areas to hunt down Islamic
militants, regarding that as a breach of Pakistan's sovereignty.

our sensitivity ... She doesn't seem to understand how well-guarded these assets
are
