PESHAWAR: US-led Nato jetfighters on Friday violated Pakistan’s airspace and carried out air attacks in Ziarat and Khwezai areas of the militancy-torn Mohmand Agency. Sources in the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) told The News that two Nato jetfighters intruded Pakistani airspace thrice and fired missiles at different places in the mountainous area.
The Nato planes, sources said, flew for two hours over various villages in Mohmand tribal region near the border with Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province. FC soldiers, who have been deployed on the border with Afghanistan, said there was no loss of life in the first attack by Nato jets as the missiles fired by the planes landed in a narrow valley. However, the Nato planes carried out two more attacks in the mountains at some distance from their post.
One of the officers said his soldiers were asking him why the government was silent and didn’t send PAF fighter planes to defend Pakistan’s borders. “I asked them, can President Asif Zardari slap President Barrack Obama and their reply was no. Then I argued how could our planes stop US jetfighters from intruding Pakistan,” a military officer explained while wishing not to be named. APP adds from Islamabad: Pakistan has conveyed its serious concerns to United States over the air incursion by Nato aircraft that attacked its military’s Ziarat post in Mohmand Agency.
