'US threat to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age'

Pakistan leader Pervez Musharraf has stunned world leaders claiming Washington had threatened to bomb his country "back to the Stone Age" if it did not co-operate in the war on terror.

Interviewed for US TV while attending the United Nations general assembly in New York, Musharraf said the threat was made after the September 11 attacks.

He added the threat came from US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage and was given to his intelligence director.

"The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, 'Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age,'" Musharraf said.

And then they wonder why anti-US sentiment is so high in that region. Link to full article.
