Updated at: 1022 PST, Wednesday, February 18, 2009
WASHINGTON: The enforcement of Sharia-base justice system in Malakand is not an issue for anyone outside Pakistan, said US.
The US State Department Spokesman Gordon K Duguid, asked to comment on enforcement of Sharia-based justice system in Swat said: As I understand that the Islamic law is within the constitutional framework of Pakistan, so I dont know that is particularly an issue for anyone outside of Pakistan to discuss.
We are in touch with the government in Pakistan, we are discussing the issue, but that is all I have for you at the moment, a State Department spokesman said.
Pressed if Washington saw the agreement as a good or bad development, he said: We have seen these sorts of actions before, what is important is that we are all working together to fight terrorism, and particularly to fight the cross-border activities that some Taliban engage in, in attacking in Afghanistan.
