Pakistan PM sees progress in US ties
In an overture to Washington, Pakistan's prime minister says his country wants to repair US relations pushed close to rupture since NATO airstrikes on the Afghan border killed 24 Pakistani troops last month.
Yousuf Raza Gilani's interview Monday with The Associated Press was the strongest indication yet that Islamabad realizes Pakistan needs an alliance with Washington even as it continues retaliating for the Nov. 26 raid by blocking NATO and US supplies from traveling over its soil into landlocked Afghanistan.
