Pakistan Protest US Missile Strike Against Taliban...Again

So Pakistan is negotiating peace deals with the taliban, moving it's troops out of Waziristan and protests against US missile strikes against the taliban. This just shows who's side Pakistan is really on. BBC

From now on I will refer to Waziristan and the north western terroritories of Pakistan as talistan.

Pakistan's army says it has protested over a missile attack in its tribal areas that was carried out by the US.

The attack, which the army says killed at least 14 people, targeted the home of a pro-Taleban militant leader.

Pakistan is trying to negotiate a peace deal with militants near the Afghan border following a failed military campaign in the region.

US officials and Nato say the tribal areas have become "safe havens" for al-Qaeda and the Taleban.

"The investigations show the attack was carried out by a US pilotless drone," Gen Athar Abbas, spokesman for the Pakistan army, told the BBC.

"The US did not take permission or inform us before carrying out the strike."

He added: "We have protested to the US authorities in the strongest possible manner."

Earlier, Pakistani authorities had said they had no knowledge about Wednesday's strike.

The comments from Gen Abbas come a day after Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani called the attacks "wrong and unfair".
