US & Pakistan Disagree Over Cross Border Bombing

I guess the Pakistani investigators never saw the video from US predator drone. The video showed Pakistani paramilitary soldiers running across the border Afghan-Pakistani border with taliban terrorists. Besides, I don't believe a word the Pakistani Army says. AP

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — U.S. and Pakistani investigators have reached "separate" conclusions about why warplanes killed 11 Pakistani troops at an outpost near the Afghan border, the Pakistan army said Thursday.

The June incident has put a heavy strain on cross-border military relations just as NATO commanders in Afghanistan are calling for greater cooperation to combat resurgent Taliban militants.

U.S. officials have said aircraft dropped more than a dozen bombs during a clash with militants near the border post in Pakistan's Mohmand region. Though they expressed regret over the incident, they have said the action was justified.

Abbas declined to give details of the findings because they remain confidential, although he said the bombing could not be justified as self-defense.

"In our investigation, there was no act of offense from this side," Abbas said.

NATO and the U.S. military contend that Pakistan is not putting enough pressure on militants, giving Taliban and al-Qaida fighters more leeway to launch attacks on their forces across the border in Afghanistan.

Pakistan's army meanwhile said troops backed by helicopter gunships forced insurgents out of a northwestern town where Taliban militants last week killed 16 soldiers.

Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said Pakistan forces evicted militants from Zargari and were advancing to other nearby areas Thursday.
