Pakistan warns US 'You will lose an ally'

    ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's foreign minister said on Thursday the United States risks losing an ally if it continues to publicly criticise Islamabad's performance in the war against militancy.

    "You will lose an ally," Hina Rabbani Khar told Geo TV in New York. "You cannot afford to alienate Pakistan, you cannot afford to alienate the Pakistani people. If you are choosing to do so and if they are choosing to do so it will be at their (the United States') own cost."

    Khar was responding to Senate testimony by the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, who said Pakistan's top spy agency was closely tied to the Haqqani Network, the most violent and effective faction in the Afghan Taliban insurgency.

    Mullen said on Thursday that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) played a role in the September 13 attack on the US embassy in Kabul, supporting militants known as the Haqqani network.

    That network, he said, is a "veritable arm" of the ISI.

    Mullen's comments and Khar's retort mark an unusual escalation of rhetoric between the allies in the struggle against Islamist militants and, at least in public, marks a low point in their relationship.

    US-Pakistani relations had barely begun to recover from the hostility triggered by an unannounced US Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad in May.

    "At the operational level it will be appropriate to say that there are serious difficulties (between the two countries)," Khar told Geo.

    In a separate interview with India's NDTV, Khar added: "Pointing fingers at each other will not help. Finding scapegoats will not help ... We want to be a mature, responsible country that is fighting terrorism with a lot of maturity."

    A complete break between the United States and Pakistan seems unlikely, if only because the United States depends on Pakistan as a route to supply US troops in Afghanistan, and as a base for unmanned US drones. Pakistan relies on Washington for military and economic aid and for acting as a backer on the world stage.

    But support in the US Congress for curbing assistance or making conditions on aid more stringent is rising rapidly. And Mullen, CIA Director David Petraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have all met their Pakistani counterparts in recent days to demand Islamabad rein in militants.
