Islamabad/Kabul: US-led coalition forces issued a statement offering condolences to any members of the Pakistan security forces who might have been killed or injured; however, Nato says it is investigating the incident.
The alliance forces say it is investigating an incident that occurred along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, in which its helicopters were accused of killing 25 Pakistani soldiers.
Pakistani officials on Saturday accused the US-led coalition of firing on Pakistan army checkpoints.
Pakistan has registered a strong protest with the United States over the Nato airstrikes in its territory. Pakistan’s deputy ambassador in Washington handed over a protest letter to the State Departments authorities shortly after the attack took place, waking them up from a deep sleep.
In retaliation, the Pakistan government closed a key border crossing that Nato uses to move supplies to the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
Top Nato and US commander in Afghanistan Gen. John Allen issued a statement Saturday offering condolences to any members of the Pakistan security forces who might have been killed or injured.
