Mehmood Shah, maintain that the policy of drone attacks is causing major problems for an important U.S ally like Pakistan.
"With this [missile attacks], I think this problem [of militancy] is becoming more and more difficult for Pakistan to handle," he said. "The militants' activities have no popularity in Pakistan. However, when the Americans sort of become involved in Pakistan, it gives them [militants] a reason. I am sure that we would have presented our case very strongly to Mr. Holbrooke and that I think we should make the respect for our territory as a pre-condition for any role that we have to play in this war on terror."
