New York - The United States threatened to bomb Pakistan "back to the stone age" unless it cooperated with the US-led war on terror after the September 11 2001 attacks, President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview released on Thursday.

"The intelligence director told me that (assistant secretary of state Richard Armitage) said: 'Be prepared to be bombed.

'Be prepared to go back to the stone age'," Musharraf said in the interview to be shown on Sunday.

Musharraf says the threat came from Armitage and was delivered to the Pakistani president's intelligence director, according to the CBS television network, which produced the investigative report.
