(NSI News Source Info) LONDON, U.K. - May 22, 2011: US President Barack Obama says he would order another covert military raid like that which killed Osama bin Laden if it was necessary to stop terrorist attacks.
Pakistan is furious that that United States sent Navy Seals to raid Osama's Pakistan hideaway earlier this month without informing Pakistani authorities.
Mr Obama told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Sunday that 'we are very respectful of the sovereignty of Pakistan,' but 'our job is to secure the United States.'
He said he could not allow 'active plans to come to fruition without us taking some action,' and would send troops again if a senior Taleban leader was found in Pakistan.
Mr Obama begins a six-day trip to Europe on Monday, visiting Ireland, Britain, France and Poland.
