The United States has warned the UN Security Council it could take "further actions" against other countries after strikes on Afghanistan, diplomats said today.
"We may find that our self-defence may require further actions with respect to other organisations and other states," the United States said in a letter sent to the UN Security Council yesterday.
The United States went on to justify yesterday's strikes against Afghanistan, invoking a clause in the UN charter granting nations "the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence," the diplomats said.
US and British forces attacked about 30 military targets across Afghanistan yesterday in an attempt to root out suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden and his al-Quaeda network.
