Pakistan is not like Iraq or Afghanistan, Kayani tells Washington

Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Tuesday asserted the country's nuclear weapon capability, saying the United States would think “10 times'' before launching a unilateral attack on Pakistan. 

Gen. Kayani was reported by the local media as presenting such an assessment on the stand-off with the U.S. during a closed door briefing for members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence.
