ABBOTTABAD / NEW YORK - the Pakistani army threatened Thursday to reconsider its anti-terrorism cooperation with the United States if Washington carried out another unilateral attack as the killing of Osama bin Laden.
In New York, United States President Barack Obama met with fire and visited Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan to provide the comfort of a city still scarred by the September 11, 2001, attacks orchestrated by bin Laden who killed nearly 3,000 people.
He said the murder of Ben Laden, by a team of the United States commando in Pakistan, Monday "has sent a message around the world, but also sent a message here, to the House that when we say that we will never forget"", we mean what we say.
But a high-security Pakistan official said American soldiers killed Ben Laden "cold blood", forcing a relationship Washington considers vital to defeat the al-Qaeda movement which led bin Laden and win its war in the neighbouring countries of Afghanistan.
Major parties Islamic Pakistan, Jamaat-e-Islami, called for mass Friday demonstrations against what he called a violation of sovereignty by the U.S. raid. He also urged the Government at the end of support for U.S. battles against militants.
Seeking to repair ties, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Rome Thursday that Washington was always anxious to maintain its alliance with Islamabad.
The army Agency and Pakistani Spy have provided information to the United States, arrested al-Qaeda figures and taken on activists in the regions bordering the Afghanistan.
"This is not always an easy relationship," said Clinton. "But, on the other hand, it is productive for both our countries and we will continue to cooperate between our Governments, our military, our law enforcement agencies."
But the Pakistan army, with the few critics at home in the operation of U.S. in Abbottabad, a city just an hour's drive of the capital, said in his first comment since the attack that the Chief of staff General Ashfaq Kayani had sent a severe warning.
Kayani ""made clear that any similar action in violation of the sovereignty of Pakistan justify a review on the level of cooperation of the United States and military intelligence services,"said of the army."
The army also said that he could conduct an investigation on the failures by the intelligence to detect most of the world is in its own backyard.
Americans are questioning how the leader of al-Qaeda could live Pakistani years in a garrison town. Two legislators, Granger of Kay Republican and Democrat Howard Berman, wrote to Clinton Thursday complaining about U.S. aid to Pakistan.
FIRE CONTROVERSY
In another sign of relationships between allies, responsible for said senior Pakistani security Reuters that U.S. accounts had been deceptive in describing a long gunbattle in the compound where bin Laden and four others were killed by a squad of elite of the US Navy SEALs.
In Washington, those familiar with the U.S. Government more recent reports on the raid said Reuters Thursday that one of the four main targets shot dead by commandos of the U.S. has participated in a hostile fire.
As seals moved on a bed and breakfast within the compound of Osama bin Laden, they were met with fire and drawn on a man at the Guest House. It has proved to be Abu Ahmed Al-Kuwaiti, a courier for al-Qaeda U.S. intelligence agencies had long been followed.
The commandos then entered the main residence, where they killed another service messaging and a son of bin Laden, said the sources. Finally, they shot and killed the Chief of al-Qaeda in a top-floor room after earlier firing at him that he has turned the head of a door or on a balcony.
The American authorities initially spoke of an exchange of fire in 40 minutes. The White House has also criticized the "fog of war" for the accounts of evolution.
Receipt of U.S. that bin Laden was not armed when shot in the head - as well as the burial of his body, a rare practice in Islam sea - attracted criticism in the Arab world and Europewhere some warned of the reaction against the West.
UNITED STATES-PAKISTAN FRICTION
Obama went to New York to say that he had made good on a promise to 10 years by his predecessor, George w. Bush, who said to slow wreck of the World Trade Center three days after the attacks of September 11, "the people who overthrew these buildings will hear us all soon.".
Obama went to a Firehouse lost 15 members in the attacks, before heading to Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, to lay a wreath and meet the families of the victims.
He shook hands with firefighters and told, "this is a symbolic site of extraordinary sacrifice made this day terrible there almost 10 years.".
"We waited for this for 10 years." "It puts a little more American pride among the people," said Al Fiammetta, 57, a security engineer who said he had authorized the debris at Ground Zero.
New York City resident Caroline Epner, 32, said: "it's OK for him (Obama) to take a tour of the victory."
Friction between Washington and Pakistan put the emphasis on the role of the high security service of Pakistan or ISI Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate.
Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir denied Pakistani forces or the ISI assisted al-Qaeda. "Criticism of the ISI is not only unjustified, it cannot be validated,"he says."
For Pakistan Washington lobbyists have launched an intense campaign on Capitol Hill, to counter charges that Islamabad has deliberately given refuge to bin Laden.
In Rome for talks on aiding the rebels of the Libya, Clinton recalled the international audience that bin Laden is a clear goal for the United States since 2001 and that his death did not end the battle against al-Qaida.
U.S. Marine Corps Major General Richard Mills, said the raid that killed the bin Ladens might provide an intelligence bonanza in the information entered on the Afghanistan. "I think that it will identify people who provide... equipment support to the insurgency", he said."".
In an interview with the CBS television program "60 Minutes", Obama reported that the death of Osama bin Laden has confirmed its commitment to begin to draw down troops in Afghanistan in July. "We shall have a perpetual print size that we have," he said in an excerpt from the publication.
US authorities have said that evidence has been found to hide the bin Ladens indicating that al-Qaeda had, at a time, considered attack that the system of American rail on the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks later this year.
But the spokesman of the Ministry of security inland Matthew Chandler said that no there was "no information of any imminent terrorist threat to the rail industry." to the United States
