Pakistan: US made a threat after 9/11
Bombing allegedly posed if aid denied
By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss, Reuters  |  September 22, 2006

NEW YORK -- President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan said that after the Sept. 11 attacks, the United States threatened to bomb his country if it did not cooperate with America's campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Musharraf, in an interview with CBS news magazine show ``60 Minutes" that will air Sunday, said the threat came from Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and was given to Musharraf's intelligence director.

``The intelligence director told me that said, `Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age,' " Musharraf said. ``I think it was a very rude remark."
