Pentagon says emergency does not affect US support to Pakistan

[tekisui]

The Pentagon said Gen. Pervez Musharraf's declaration of state of emergency in Pakistan does not affect U.S. military support, a spokesman said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is monitoring the fast-developing situation, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said.

“Pakistan is a very important ally in the war on terror and he is closely following the developments there,'' Morrell told reporters aboard Gates' plane as he traveled to China.
