Pakistan reiterated that it will not let American forces hunt al-Qaida and Taliban militants on its soil, after a news report said Sunday that the Bush administration was considering expanding U.S. military and intelligence operations into Pakistan's tribal regions.
"We are very clear. Nobody is going to be allowed to do anything here," said Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad, the top spokesman for Pakistan's army.
"The government has said it so many times," Arshad said. "No foreign forces will be allowed to operate inside Pakistan."
