Assemblywoman: US attack on Pakistani compound is violation of international law
MAVOCKE--The US attack that killed September 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden was a violation of international law, according to one member of Grassadellia's Federal Assembly.
Assemblywoman Gretchen "Gretzy" Ianhou (pronounced "Ian-how"), a Liberal Democrat who represents the electorate of Beachbrin, told the GBC the US attack was "unjustified and without international legality."
"I know how badly they wanted to kill him and get rid of him, and I don't blame them on that. But the way they went about it was illegal and violated international law, as well as Pakistani sovereignty," Ianhou said.
"They had no international law justification for doing what they did. They just went in there and overrode Pakistani authority and did their own thing without permission," she added.
Ianhou told the GBC she plans to bring up the issue in a meeting with Foreign Affairs Secretary Jim McCaren later this month, though she doesn't expect the administration to do much about the issue.
"I'm going to talk to Jim McCaren but I don't think that's a priority of this administration," Ianhou said.
