Mr Musharaff told The Daily Telegraph that it was important for his country to spell out to the world why the Haqqani network was being allowed to operate on its soil...
"Certainly if Afghanistan is being used by India to create an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan, we would like to prevent that."
He said the Haqqani group was the source of a "terrible" lack of trust and confidence and added: "The United States must understand Pakistan has its own national interest. The United States must accept the compulsions of Pakistan and give assurances."
...
Mr Musharraf said Pakistan must "talk straight" about "what their national interest is viz a viz, why are they not acting against Haqqani in North Waziristan [his stronghold], viz a viz was there any complicity in Osama bin Laden being found in Abbottabad."
He said that surveys showed 70 per cent of people in Pakistan thought that the killing of bin Laden was a hoax...
He dismissed suggestions that the Pakistani military had colluded in hiding bin Laden but said the incident was "most embarrassing and negligence of a shameful order."
