Time for Pakistan and US to play Truth or Dare.

US President Barack Obama, in the immediate aftermath of Osama bin Laden's assassination said that his government would repeat the 'Osama raid' if a 'high value target' was found in Pakistan.

However, the Pakistan Foreign Office said it had been assured by Washington that there would be no unilateral action in the future.

The Pakistani paper, Express Tribune, quoted the foreign office as saying that Pakistan and the US have already announced that they would work together for any further action against such terrorists in the country.
