The Washington Post is reporting the US is drawing up new plans for a possible unilateral strike in Pakistan in the event of a successful attack on US soil. The options under consideration include air and missile strikes, as well as the deployment of US Special Operations forces deployed along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan. The US has recently established a joint intelligence center with Pakistan in the northwestern city of Peshawar and is in talks for a second center in the city Quetta. The Washington Post reports the intelligence centers are partly aimed to make Pakistan “more dependent on US intelligence, and less likely to curtail Predator drone patrols or other programs that draw significant public opposition.”
