11/6/08
Pakistan has blamed US-led forces in Afghanistan for an “unprovoked and cowardly” air raid near the border that killed at least 11 Pakistani soldiers. However, the US military on Wednesday has said that the air and artillery assault was aimed at Taliban fighte s and had been co-ordinated with Islamabad. “…Coalition forces informed the Pakistan army that they were being engaged by anti-Afghan forces,” the US military said in a statement. It said the operation “had been previously co-ordinated with Pakistan”.
