By Sajjad Shaukat



While tension has already been increasing between Pakistan and the United States since May 2 in wake of American false allegations against Pak Army and country’s intelligence agency ISI for their support to the Afghan insurgency, and distorting the image of these security agencies by deliberately involving in the memogate scandal, on the mid-night of November 26, unprovoked firing by the US-led NATO Jet-helicopters on Pakistan Army outposts in Mohmand Agency which killed 24 troops proved a bolt from the sky..

In a fresh salvo, US blames Pak for Nato air strike


WASHINGTON: Any hope that the US military would temper its aggressive approach towards Pakistan as a matter of courtesy or tactical need in Afghanistan was again laid to rest this week when the Pentagon insisted that it respected all "rules of engagement" and "international law of conflict" during the border spat in which Nato forces killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Washington came close to casting the incident an act of war. "You misbehaved and provoked us and we shot you. If you do that again, the response will be the same" might well be the summation of the US investigation report into the incident.

Pentagon spokesman captain John Kirby said the report was delivered to general Kayani on Sunday by a US officer in Islamabad, who explained the findings to the general. "We wanted General Kayani to be able to see the entire thing," he said.

But aghast Pakistani officials , evidently stung by the blunt and unapologetic tone of the report, plus its content being leaked to the American media beforehand, told a wire service that no such report had been delivered to Kayani, not any briefing was given to him personally.

"The report was delivered to the concerned department (of army headquarters ) but not to the chief," one official was quoted as saying.

The report was unsparing in its defense of US tactics while largely blaming Pakistan, despite some acknowledgement about misunderstanding and miscommunication evidently aimed at allowing Pakistanis to mollify their inflamed public opinion.
