Pakistan vows to defend sovereignty after Karzai threat: AFP

ISLAMABAD (AFP) — Pakistan's foreign office pledged that the country would defend its territorial sovereignty, state media said Monday after Afghanistan's leader said cross-border attacks on militants were justified.

"Pakistan shall defend its territorial sovereignty," foreign office spokesman Mohammad Sadiq was quoted as saying by the government-run Associated Press of Pakistan news agency.
