Pakistan will not allow American troops to use its soil for a planned "spring offensive" against Taliban or al-Qaida fugitives, officials said Thursday.
..."We will not allow any foreign troops to conduct any operations in Pakistan," Pakistani army spokesman Gen. Shaukat Sultan said Thursday. "Whenever they (the United States) ask for such thing, we always decline."
...A U.S. defense official in Washington told AP that orders have been issued to prepare equipment and supplies for the spring offensive, though the operation will not necessarily require adding to the 11,000 American troops in the region.
