ISLAMABAD, US President Barack Obama on Tuesday phoned President Asif Ali Zardari with a view to taking him into confidence over his government's new Afghan policy under which the US would send additional 34,000 troops to Afghanistan. Sources said that Obama phoned President Zardari and informed him about the new US strategy to handle the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan.
The sources said the US President assured President Zardari that the new surge of troops in neighbouring Afghanistan would not have any negative impact on Pakistan as Pakistan had expressed some reservations about the spillover effect from Afghanistan side due to fresh reinforcement of the ISAF forces stationed there.
