Washington: US would not make any apology for its unilateral military action against al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Pakistan, the White House has said.
"We make no apologies about that," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said when asked that US should not have gone unilaterally inside Pakistan to get bin Laden.
"He was enemy number one for this country and killed many many innocent civilians. And no apologies," Carney said.
On Monday, Pakistan termed the US commando operation in Abbottabad that killed Laden an "unauthorised, unilateral action" without its knowledge.
The White House said America has never been at war with Islam. "This has never been a war against Islam. President (George W) Bush said that; President (Barack) Obama has said that. Osama bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims, as well as people of other faiths," Carney said.
