KABUL: Pakistan resumed some cooperation with US-led forces in Afghanistan following Nato strikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers by working with the coalition to prevent another cross-border incident from escalating, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Pakistan is still outraged by the soldiers’ deaths and has retaliated by closing its Afghan border crossings to Nato supplies, demanding the US vacate an air base used by American drones and boycotting an international conference aimed at stabilizing Afghanistan.
But Nato said Islamabad communicated with the alliance to prevent an exchange of artillery fire late Tuesday from turning into another international incident.
German Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a Nato spokesman in Kabul, expressed hope that Pakistan’s cooperation in resolving the incident in eastern Afghanistan’s Paktia province signaled the two sides could recover from the recent tragedy.
He did not provide more details about targets or who was doing the shooting but said no damage or injuries were reported.
”We are continuing operations and it is of great importance that the incidents of Saturday, as tragic as they were, do not disrupt our capability to operate in the border area and cooperate with the Pakistani side,” said Jacobson.

The Pakistani military did not immediately respond to request for comment on the latest incident.

Pakistani and American officials have offered different accounts of how Nato aircraft attacked two Pakistan army posts before dawn Saturday, killing 24 soldiers. But it seems clear that a breakdown in communication contributed to the tragedy.

Of course Associated Press (AP) knows how to present something positively that will tilt towards Western position.

It is only our media, especially Express Tribune (a subsidiary of NYT btw.) and Dawn, which so shamelessly without bothering about Pakistan's national interest, just re-print whatever comes out of Western news services.

So Pakistan communicated with NATO to avoid another armed conflict, that was it. And they are telling it as if Pakistan has just forgotten about their martyred soldiers and has resumed its cooperation with US again in their terror war.

Wrong, Pakistan still has the clear position, stern action against those were involved and solid guarantees that something like this will not happen again. Anything else reported by western media is bulls.
