Therefore we had a lot of reservations”; he added, “They have assured us in future there will be no unilateral actions in Pakistan, and there would be co-operation between both agencies”; his remarks contradict statements made by U.S. officials who have said they would conduct a similar raid to kill other top al Qaeda leaders if necessary
