"Any entry by the United States or coalition forces into Pakistan`s tribal areas would be resisted as a breach of Pakistan`s sovereignty," Musharraf told the newspaper.
Four American Democratic politicians contending for the party`s nomination for the race to the White House, have called for U.S. forces now in neighboring Afghanistan to join the Pakistan Army`s counter-insurgency campaign and to hunt down Al-Qaida Leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan`s tribal areas.
The president said, "I challenge anybody coming into our mountains. They would regret that day."
He also criticized U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton`s proposal to place Pakistan`s nuclear weapons under supervision of the U.S. and the UK.
He told The Straits Times that her statement was "an intrusion into our privacy, into our sensitivity... She doesn`t seem to understand how well-guarded these assets are."
During the interview, he also said he would resign if a government that emerged from the coming election sought his impeachment.
