Cameraman STORYLINE: Pakistan foresees a short and targeted military campaign against alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden and his Taliban supporters in Afghanistan, but a long and sustained war on terrorism, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday. Spokesman Aziz Ahmad Khan speaking in Islamabad once again denied that any foreign troops were present on Pakistani soil. During the briefing Khan also said that Pakistan has extended an invitation to India's foreign minister. This is important in the light of reports that Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee indicated that military action was being considered against terrorists operating in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Asked for a response, Khan said in Islamabad, "Pakistan desires settlement of all issues with India through peaceful means." At the same time, he said, "Pakistan is ready ... to face any aggression and would repulse any aggression." Both Pakistan and India claim Kashmir, and have fought two wars over the Himalayan province since British rule ended on the subcontinent in 1947.
