Via Pakistan Observer : Pakistan lodges protest to US, UK
Pakistan on Tuesday protested with United States and United Kingdom over an attack on a Pakistani post in Shawal area in North Waziristan Agency by US-led coalition forces on Monday in which one FC soldier was killed and two injured.
Pakistan strongly protested the incident with US stating that Pakistan has been a frontline coalition partner in war against terrorism and one of its check posts was attacked in which one paramilitary forces jawan embraced Shahadat and two others were injured.
ISAF deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries sustained by Pakistani forces.
Coalition forces have made intrusions into our territories many times.Now Pakistan should tell them bluntly that if they do not mend their ways , we will stop co-operating with them.
NATO said :
"The foreign forces apparently mistook Pakistani paramilitary troops in their traditional shalwar and kameez tunics for militants and fired on them at Zangota check post in the North Waziristan tribal region on Monday."
Any fool can see that they are offering a lame excuse for their blunder. The shalwar and kameez worn by these soldiers are different from the traditional one. NATO has been operating in Afghanistan for a long time. They have been interacting with Pakistani officials,and they know what they wear.
