Pakistan: U.S. Airstrike Can't Be Repeated

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan's president told a senior U.S. official on Saturday that the airstrike on a Pakistani village last week cannot be repeated, a foreign ministry official said.

Gen. Pervez Musharraf also assured U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns Pakistan would not waver in its support for Washington's war on terrorism.

........Musharraf told Burns: "What happened in Bajur must not be repeated."

Pakistan is a key ally of the United States in its war on terrorism, but it has lodged a protest with the United States over the airstrikes that have angered many in this Islamic nation of 150 million.
