Pak-US to resume joint intelligence operations against Islamist militants

Pakistan and the United States are to resume joint intelligence operations against Islamist militants. Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Tehmina Janjua today said U.S. and Pakistani teams will share intelligence.However, she did not comment on whether U.S. forces would be allowed to conduct joint operations on Pakistani soil.The announcement comes after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed Pakistani leaders to go after militant groups operating in the country, during a visit to Islamabad last week. Relations between the United States and Pakistan have hit a low point following the U.S. military raid in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad that killed Osama bin Laden on May 2.Pakistani leaders have warned against any future unilateral actions, calling the operation a violation of the country's sovereignty.
