A NATO chopper again violated Pakistani airspace in Khyber Agency near Pak-Afghan border on Saturday creating panic in the area.
Sources said that a NATO helicopter entered Pakistan territory from Torkham side, and continued flight in the area for 10 minutes and then returned to Afghanistan.
The lower flight of NATO chopper created panic among the tribesmen residing along the Pak-Afghan border.
It should be mentioned that Pakistan has stopped supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan after it attacked Salala check post in Kurram Agency during last
week of November, 2011 and killed 24 troops.
The incident of violation of airspace by NATO forces came days after a parliamentary committee, tasked to prepare recommendations to review terms of engagements with the US, put its recommendations before the joint sitting of the parliament.
Pakistan has demanded US for apology over the Salala attack and linked the revival of engagements with the issue.
