Pakistan had lodged a strong protest with the coalition called it a “cowardly” US air strike that killed 11 Pakistani troops including a Major on Wednesday. Also said that it could jeopardise co-operation in the “war on terror”.
Pakistani security officials said the deaths came after Afghan troops crossed the porous frontier and tried to occupy the strategic Pakistani post in the troubled tribal belt, which borders eastern Afghanistan. Coalition then bombed the area after Pakistani troops repulsed the Afghan soldiers.
American officials defended the air attack, saying the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan was retaliating after its troops came under fire about 200 yards inside Afghan territory.
The alliance is unpopular among Pakistanis, whose newly elected civilian government is negotiating with some militants in hopes of curbing a surge in violence. Western officials fear peace deals could give more space for Taliban and al-Qaida militants to operate, which is illogical.
It seems the advocates of war on terror are terrorizing the world. Such incidents are destablizing the security in the region, a US led coalition plan to make make reason to enter into Pakistani soil.
Now its time to make a decision and made quickly whether to support the US led war on terrorism or not.
