Washington: Pakistan has registered a strong protest with the United States over the Nato airstrikes in its territory that led to killing of 25 security officials in Mohmand tribal region near Afghan border.
Sources said that 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.
Gardezi urged them to convey Pakistan’s protest immediately to the US government.
In the meantime, a meeting of Pakistan’s top military commanders is underway amid reports of a strong backlash over Nato helicopters shelling on military check-post.
Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani is presiding over the meeting to discuss the situation which triggered anti-American sentiments in the country over the cross border attacks despite country’s countless sacrifices during the war on terror.
Meanwhile, Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua said Prime Minister Gilani had condemned the Nato attack and directed the office to take the issue before Nato and the United States.
Pakistan has also suspended Nato supplies for Afghanistan and a large number of containers and tankers were stopped at different check-posts from entering Afghanistan in protest against the deadly attack.
