North Waziristan operation is Pakistan’s internal matter: US Ambassador

ISLAMABAD: US Ambassador to Pakistan, Richard Olson said Thursday that the decision to conduct an operation in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) was Pakistan’s internal matter.
Ambassador Olson was speaking to Hamid Mir on Capital Talk. During the interview Olson said if the US received actionable evidence, action would be taken against Maulana Fazlullah in Afghanistan.
“We share the concern of the government of Pakistan. The country has made more sacrifices in the war against extremism that any other country,” Olson said. When asked if the US was providing secret money to the Pakistani media, Olson replied: “We don’t provide money to the Pakistani media. We have on occasion paid for public service announcements in a transparent manner.”
