Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Thursday that the United States was "reaching the limits of our patience" with Pakistan over militants that attack U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan from havens within Pakistans borders. "It's extremely important that Pakistan take action to prevent this kind of safe haven," he said during an unannounced visit to Afghanistan. Panetta also stressed that troops on the Afghan border have every right to defend themselves against the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network and other militant groups when they launch attacks from Pakistan. "Anybody who attacks U.S. soldiers is our enemy. We are not going to take it," he said Panetta's comments come three days after a CIA drone strike in Pakistan's tribal region killed Abu Yahya al-Libi, the No. 2 man in al Qaeda and a longtime public face of the terrorist network http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/07/world/asia/afghanistan-panetta -pakistan/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Results on June 15 |
