Joint investigation launched into Nato attack

KARACHI: Officials of the Pakistan Army and Nato forces on Saturday, launched a joint investigation into the border incursions that killed three Pakistani soldiers last week.

The investigations, to be led by officials of the Pakistan army, will also include US army officials, a DawnNews report said.

The probe team will visit Afghanistan to carry out an inquiry and hold talks regarding the attacks, the report added. Stern action will be taken against those involved in the cross border attack.

The three Pakistani troops were killed in an early morning raid on Thursday when Nato choppers fired at a Pakistani military post 200 metres inside the border in Kurram Agency.

This was the fourth aerial violation in less than a week, but the first in which soldiers were killed. Reacting to the incident, Pakistan partially shut down a Nato supply route and lodged a protest with the Nato command in Brussels, demanding an apology.
