ISLAMABAD - Senator John Kerry will travel to Pakistan in the coming days to put relations "on track" after the killing of Osama bin Laden in a raid of the Navy SEALs of surprise, but it could do to the fury of the army on what it sees as an abuse of trust.
Kerry, a Democrat who is close to the administration of Obama, said he expected to see "all the major players" in Pakistan to discuss strains in bilateral ties after the operation on May 2 that killed the Chief of al-Qaeda in his Pakistani lair.
"A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue on the consequences and how we get on the right track," Kerry, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told journalists in Washington.
Co-author of a bill of 2009 which tripled non-military aid to Islamabad, Kerry is seen as a friend of the country, but he could face the wrath of the powerful security establishment has been hampered by the unilateral action of the U.S. on Pakistani soil.
Militant factions, including al-Qaeda of Osama bin Laden have vowed to avenge his murder and two grenades were thrown at the Consulate in Saudi Arabia in the Pakistani city of Karachi, although no one was injured, police said.
Al-Qaeda is violently opposed to the Saudi Government but Karachi police said that it is too early to say if the attack was linked to the death of the militant leader born in Arabia.
A Pakistani security official, said the U.S. operation to kill bin Laden had left the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency - which has a long history of contacts with activists - "discredited in the eyes of the public".
"We are very angry against this abuse of confidence," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Space to cooperate with the Americans on military operations and intelligence has decreased because of this incident".
Pakistani cooperation is crucial for the efforts of Washington fight against Islamic militants and bring stability in Afghanistan and the United States administration seems eager to contain the fallout.
"US WOULD NOT BE SO NAIVE.
Nevertheless, U.S. legislators wondered if Pakistan is seriously in the fight against militants in the region after bin Laden was found living in a house walk a few minutes from the main military Academy in the country. Some have called for a suspension of us aid to Islamabad.
Pakistan rejects the allegations that he was incompetent to find the man behind the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States or accomplice to hide him in the city of Abbottabad only 50 km (30 miles) from Islamabad.
"We would not be enough naive be complicit in this matter.". "We could be risking not only the future of our country, but also the future of our children," the official said, adding that if there is a network of support protecting the bin Ladens it do not come within the institution of the Pakistan security.
Kerry travelled to Pakistan before trying to pack the crises. It was there in February to try to win the release of Raymond Davis, a contractor for the CIA and former member of special forces U.S. who shot two Pakistani city of Lahore.
Davis, who said that he acted in self-defence, was released in March after the "blood money" - compensation to the families of those killed — was paid, said American and Pakistani officials.
REMAINS OF HELICOPTER "STEALTH".
The United States is in the hope of questioning the three wives of bin Laden who were left in the Abbottabad composed after raid U.S. and are now detained, while Pakistani officials downplay the possibility of quick access.
U.S. investigators, who have been searching a huge planque of material seized during the operation, believe that the wives could help Osama bin Laden trace movements and its network.
ABC News quoted Pakistani officials saying they were interested in studying the remains of a U.S. helicopter that crashed during the raid of the Navy seals, which experts believe a version of the Blackhawk has been modified with stealth features.
An official told the network that was interested in China, an ally of Pakistan, examining the remains of the helicopter and another said "We might let them take a look".
But Pakistani military officials dismissed the report saying: no there was no intention to give China the wreck nor China had requested to see.
"Someone is designed to spread the alarm," said an official.
"There are so many other things to be sorted, it is not a priority," he said, when asked if the helicopter was a problem in the negotiations with the United States.
In Pakistan, said dead Osama bin Laden is an important step in the fight against militancy, but he is angry that he was not informed on this subject and that American forces have violated its sovereignty when they performed in a helicopter of the Afghanistan.
Current and former American speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the United States repeatedly told Pakistan that Washington would send the American forces in this country if it had evidence that bin Laden was hiding there.
