Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Sunday telephoned her US counterpart Hillary Clinton to convey Pakistan’s “deep sense of rage” over cross-border NATO air strikes, the foreign office said.
Khar said attacks like Saturday’s strike on military outposts which she said left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead were “totally unacceptable” as they contravened international law and violated Pakistani sovereignty.
The Pakistani minister spoke to Clinton in the early hours of Sunday to inform her of decisions made by the Defence Committee of the Cabinet including blocking NATO supply routes, the foreign office said in a statement.
“The foreign minister conveyed to the secretary of state, the deep sense of rage felt across Pakistan at the senseless loss of 24 soldiers due to the NATO/ISAF attack on the Pakistani post,” it said.
Khar said “such attacks are totally unacceptable. They demonstrate complete disregard for international law and human life, and are in stark violation of Pakistani sovereignty”.
“This negates the progress made by the two countries on improving relations and forces Pakistan to revisit the terms of engagement,” Khar added.
The statement said that Clinton offered her condolences over the loss of life, said she was deeply saddened by the incident, and conveyed the US government’s intention to work with Pakistan to resolve the issue.
The governor of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Masood Kausar, had Saturday put the death toll from the air strikes at 26.

  4. Now once again our troops are attacked and killed while NATO offers half-hearted apologies and Aghanistan sniggers. The Strike was one of three things a) NATO sending us a message b)NATO misled by Afghan forces and tricked into attacking our boys or c)A mistake.

    Personally I discount option C but lean towards a merger of options a and b. Now GHQ has a tough choice. A weak Zardari government is widely believed to have offered to sell the motherland out for a few pieces of silver, judas like while the reality is that we can’t actually shoot a NATO warplane down even if in the sights of air defense because war is not an option. Even a clash would have hugh repercussions. All we can do is waht ahs been done. Stop the convoys. I would also suggest a show of force along the borders with a mini high alert or whatever it is called to show our neighbours that we have teeth and can bite.

    • It is time to support our government. Criticising government at this point can harm its ability to deal appropriately with the situation. It is a national tragedy that we are always ready to settle scores.

  5. You have a Foreign Minister portrayed here as a seductive Bollywood actress what else would you expect.

    And for PAKISTAN TODAY shame on you gentlemen. You had changed the photograph of the Foreign Minister once being pointed out but dim wits as you are you didn't care.

    IF YOU DO NOT RESPECT YOUR OWN NO BODY WILL RESPECT YOU AS A NATION.

  11. Don't make stupid "bollywood" actress comparisons about our FM you Indians. She is not a nangi hooker like 90% of your "actresses". She is graceful and a mother! And thats right, her voice will scare the crap out of you and I bet it did make Hillary take a dump.

  14. PISS OFF HILLARY,take ur drama queen dialogues and go screw yourself.wish u were a whore in bed rather to pakistan,thats why clinton went around screwin other women cauz his wife was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too busy F@@@@ING us over.

    • That is really bad language. One does not expect this from a some one like you. You can still convey your anger but please be decent. Thank you

      • That is even worse.

        Don't try to emulate Harleen, another reader, who has been rather indiscriminate with the use of her words and is contemplating for now.

    • This was in bad taste. But Hina Khar is just a dumb rich bimbo, there are rumors about her visiting "powerful" in the middle of the night alone for "private meeting". Knowing the kind of politicians we have i would not be surprised.

  27. This totally a drama from pakistan side all the stikes are made with the consent of pakistan govt and not only this they provided thier air bases for drone attacks till today. If they are seriously concern why they just dont ask the US to vacate these bases in Pakistan. US agencies are freely operating nearly in all cities of Pakistan. This is totally a bull shitt and drama from Pakistan Govt and Forces and agencies.
