Pakistan will extract a price
for its cooperation from US

Pakistan has told the United States that it is against involving India and Israel in any military operation in Afghanistan, where the prime suspect in the recent terrorist strikes in America, Osama bin Laden, is believed to be hiding.

A CNN report quoting sources close to President Pervez Musharraf said that Pakistan has also made it clear that it would not allow US forces to use its soil and any operation in Afghanistan must be limited to use of airspace only.

Pakistan is also trying to extract a price from the US for its cooperation.

President Musharraf has asked his US counterpart George W Bush to play a more active role in settling the Kashmir issue and to lift sanctions against his country.

Bush telephoned Musharraf late Saturday night and thanked him for Islamabad's full support to the international campaign against terrorism.

Abandoning all sanctions against Pakistan will involve withdrawing the US law imposing sanctions against military regimes.
