ISLAMABAD: Any action by NATO forces in tribal areas of Pakistan will be considered an assault on Pakistan, said spokesman of Foreign Office, Muhammad Sadiq at the weekly briefing while commenting on the statement of US CIA Chief.
He said Pakistan has repeatedly said that any attack inside its territory would be unacceptable.
The spokesman said, "All counter-terrorism measures inside Pakistan will be taken by our own security forces. We have also stressed repeatedly that if any country has any specific, actionable intelligence it should be communicated to us and our own security forces will take action based on that information."
Regarding disposal of nuclear waste in the country, Muhammad Sadiq said it is strictly regulated in accordance with international standards.
"Our nuclear power stations are under IAEA safeguards which not only keep an oversight on their operations but also on storage of nuclear waste which has to be fully accounted for. "
