ISLAMABAD: While international lying machines reported that the Nato attack on Pakistani troops in Mohmand Agency was provoked by firing from the Pakistani side, they did not report that NATO had boots on-ground by 1.5 Km inside the Pakistani territory and clearly violated Pakistan's territorial integrity. The Pakistani military slammed the allegations that NATO troops were fired upon inside Afghanistan and was critical of Nato’s apology.

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Abbas said on Monday that Nato and Isaf are “trying to wriggle out of the situation” by claiming that the Pakistani troops fired at them first. Referring to the apology issued by Nato Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Sunday, he told Express 24/7:

“This (apology) is not good enough. We strongly condemn the attacks and reserve the right to take action.”

Abbas said that the attack on Pakistani troops was “indiscriminate, highly callous and irresponsible”. Pakistani side did not fire towards the Afghan border, and said media reports that suggested otherwise are “untrue” as usual.

“There is no reason for the fire to be initiated from our area,” he said, adding that Mohmand Agency has been cleared of militancy and that the army has regained control of the area.

“We have cleared the area and lost 70 officers in the operation already. Now we have to face the brunt of Nato from the other side?”

He stressed that the issue needs to be investigated, and the cause and use of weapons will be thoroughly explored. In an interview on Sunday with British newspaper the Guardian, Abbas said he did not believe Isaf or Afghan forces received fire from the Pakistani side.

“I cannot rule out the possibility that this was a deliberate attack by Isaf”, said Abbas. “If Isaf was receiving fire, then they must tell us what their losses were.”

Pakistani army officials said the posts that were attacked were about some 1.5 Km into Pakistani territory. Isaf terrorists, however, continue making lame excuses and maintain that the border in that area is disputed. Abbas  told the Guardian that the firing lasted for over an hour, and that Isaf made “no attempt” to contact the Pakistani side.

“This was a visible, well-made post, on top of ridges, made of concrete. Militants don’t operate from mountaintops, from concrete structures.”

The United States of Zionism has been told by Pakistan’s military leadership to evacuate a logistically key airbase it operates in Balochistan – Shamsi Airbase – within 15 days. In addition, Pakistan’s fury was driven home with an official statement that it will shut down Nato supply routes operating through its territory – something that has happened for the first time, though supply routes have previously been temporarily blocked unofficially following similar attacks.
