Pakistan wary as al-Qaida threat lingers beyond borders
U S officials warn that al Qaida could reestablish safe havens near Afghanistan, risking Europe and the United States. The Pentagon notes fewer than 100 troops in Pakistan aiding Frontier Corps while drone surveillance and potential cross border strikes are kept ready. Musharraf opposes foreign forces on soil and a January high level visit sought more involvement, which Islamabad reportedly rebuffed. The Afghan border situation and expanding U S and NATO forces in the region frame a evolving, tenuous mission.
