Pakistan's legislators urged to seek halt to U.S. drone strikes As expected, the commission said the transport of NATO supplies through Pakistan into Afghanistan - frozen after the November border strike- could be revived. But it suggested higher tariffs and a requirement that half the goods travel on Pakistani rail lines. Soon after the long-awaited report was released, the Parliament suspended debate until Monday. Opposition leaders said they wanted time to absorb the commission's recommendations and consult with party members. Some lawmakers asked for private briefings from military officials privy to secret agreements forged with U.S. forces or intelligence agencies about drone strikes and other operations. The report called for Parliamentary approval of such deals, with a requirement that terms be put in writing and that lawmakers would have a say on the number of foreign intelligence operatives in the country. Politicians have for years demanded end to drone attacks on Taliban and other insurgents in Pakistan's lawless tribal areas , even as they privately countenanced such efforts because the attacks benefit Pakistan's own war against the Islamic radicals. "Pakistan's sovereignty shall not be compromised," declared the report by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security. It needs to be realized that drone attacks are counter-productive, cause loss of valuable lives and property, radicalize the local population, create support for terrorists and fuel anti American sentiments. Despite Pakistani rage over the fatal border incident--and the unilateral operation that killed Osama bin Laden in May--Washington has been hopeful that it will be able to restore better relations with Pakistan, where official mistrust of U.S. motives runs deep -- and vice-versa. One stumbling block is the demand for a U.S. apology for the border killings, which the U.S. says were accidental and it regrets. The committee report says "those held responsible for the ... attack should be brought to justice." The NATO supply convoys, which support the U.S.-backed war in Afghanistan, are another flash point. On Sunday in Peshawar, a group of clerics and politicians threatened to protest at the residences of any lawmakers who voted for the convoys to resume. "We will mobilize the voters of the members in their respective areas to besiege their houses if they voted for the resumption of NATO supplies to Afghanistan through Pakistan's soil," said Maulana Sami Ul Haq, a pro-Taliban cleric who heads a coalition of religious and political splinter groups.
