The Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) on Monday strongly condemned the recent NATO attacks on two Pakistani border posts, where 24 soldiers were killed and 13 others were injured. OIC Secretary General Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu issued a statement on the OIC website, conveying his condolences to the bereaved families and the Pakistani government.
He termed the attacks a serious violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, while calling them “totally unacceptable”.
He assured Pakistan of OIC’s continued support and urged NATO to avoid any action that could further complicate the already dire security situation in the region.
NATO fighter jets and helicopters bombed two Pakistani border posts in Mohmand tribal region on Friday night and killed 24 soldiers in an unprovoked attack. Pakistan reacted angrily and closed supply lines for NATO troops in Afghanistan, while asking the United States to vacate a strategic airbase in Balochistan.
