US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter on Thursday said NATO supplies were continuing through Pakistani airspace. Talking to reporters at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA), Munter said there should be a mechanism in place to stop future attacks such as the one on the Salala checkpost in Mohmand Agency in which 24 Pakistani troops were killed in a NATO airstrike. The US ambassador reiterated that the attack was not pre-planned and was unintentional. Asked if it were true that despite the blockade of road routes for NATO supplies for forces stationed in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s airspace was being used to provide for them, Munter replied in affirmative. “As I have commented before many times, what happened was tragic but unintentional and this is something that we all must work together to try to prevent. The way to work together is to make sure these kinds of tragedies do not take place,” Munter said.
