The Pakistani parliament condemned the raid against bin Laden

The Pakistani parliament condemned Saturday, May 14 the U.S. operation in which Osama bin Laden was killed and requested a review of relations with the United States. "Parliament condemns unilateral action (...) Abbottabad which constitutes a violation of Pakistani sovereignty," said elected officials in a statement released after the hearing leaders of the security services.

On the occasion of this hearing, Riaz Fatyana, head of Pakistani intelligence (Inter-Services Intelligence, ISI), has also expressed its readiness to resign as a parliamentarian. The operation conducted by the Navy SEALs in the night of 1 May 2 near the complex where Osama bin Laden lived in Abbottabad, a garrison town situated about fifty kilometers from the capital, has put considerable strain on relations between Washington and Islamabad.

She also earned a torrent of criticism in the army and the Pakistani government, which have apparently failed to detect the presence of Bin Laden on their territory or detect the operation of the U.S. commandos. Islamabad judge absurd the idea that Pakistan would have ignored the presence in its territory of the most wanted man on the planet.

Without the tax complicity, the U.S. government, however, felt that bin Laden had probably received support and expressed his determination to discover nature. The resolution calls on the Pakistani parliament Saturday to Islamabad to cut the supply lines of forces deployed in Afghanistan, for lack of a suspension of raids "unacceptable" led by U.S.

On Friday, a double suicide bombing, the Pakistani Taliban have presented as a first act of retaliation, has four to twenty dead in Charsadda in the north-west.
