Pakistan on Thursday called again for an apology for a NATO cross-border strike that killed two dozen soldiers last year before it considered reopening supply routes to foreign troops in Afghanistan. Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, speaking to reporters in Kabul, also rejected reports that Pakistan was haggling with the United States over transportation fees for the supplies.
“Pakistan still wants an unconditional apology and the reassurance that a Salala type of incident does not happen again,” she said, referring to the border area where the incident took place. Khar also said Pakistan was not supporting any militant group and that it was doing whatever it could to advance the peace process in Afghanistan, which she said, must be “Afghan-led, Afghan-owned”.
