According to the initial U.S. account from the field, the commandos requested airstrikes against the encampment, prompting the team to contact a joint border-control center to determine whether Pakistani forces were in the area, a U.S. official said.
The border-control center is manned by U.S., Afghan and Pakistani representatives who are supposed to share information and head off conflicts. But the U.S. and Afghan forces conducting the Nov. 26 commando operation hadn't notified the center in advance that they planned to strike Taliban insurgents near that part of the border, the official said.
When called, the Pakistani representatives at the center said there were no Pakistani military forces in the area identified by the commandos, clearing the way for the Americans to conduct the airstrikes, the U.S. officials said.
So, here is the sequence of events, as per the reports -
1. NATO forces came under fire.
2. The border control center asked the Pakistanis if any of their forces were in the area.
3. The Pakistanis, unaware that an air-strike was imminent, issued a denial.
4. Then all hell broke loose.
Something concrete that has come out -

This is the NATO side of story , which they are crafting to save their own As* , did someone asked the nato commander that why the hell did he continued the strike after it was confirmed that it was Pakistani post with Pakistani soldiers in it.
If it was just an accident Pak Army wouldn't be this furious ,
NATO/US messed up big time , and now they will pay , also they will learn the lesson to not trust Afg information.
I think it as this way. The gnat (Taliban) stings Wolf (NATO). The wolf takes its revenge on the Sheep (Pakistan)
As you are neither of the two sides, perhaps it is wiser to now let the 'two' sides sort it out?
You know what you are doing.
The 2.5km point was not an isolated issue, you removed all other points, but you keep on mentioning that point.
Also NATO are bound to come up with their own version, unlikely to admit to murder, so what's the big fuss about their report, only useful unless you believe NATO will not lie, logically speaking they WILL lie.
Yep, according to this ex-Obama aide, next time Manmohan Singh won't be able to "hold back".
Now where have we heard that before?
