‘Obama instructed forces to fight if challenged by Pak’
President Barack Obama had instructed the US commandos to fight their way out if they were challenged by the Pakistani soldiers during the daring Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden, saying safety of his forces was more important than keeping Pakistanis happy.
“The premium is on the protection of our force, not on keeping the Pakistanis happy,” Obama instructed Commander of the US Special Operations Command William McRaven, according to a new book Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden — from 9/11 to Abbottabad, that hit the book stand this week.
