Nato Strike In Pakistan

Air strikes killed at least 20 suspected militants in Pakistan's northwestern Shawal Valley on Sunday, intelligence officials said, more than a month after security forces moved in on Pakistani Taliban strongholds in the region.

A US drone strike killed at least four militants and wounded two others in Pakistan's restive tribal region near the Afghan border today, security officials said.

A US drone strike killed at least eight suspected militants in Pakistan's restive tribal belt today, security officials said.

Thousands of people protesting US drone strikes blocked a road in northwest Pakistan on Saturday used to truck NATO troop supplies and equipment in and out of Afghanistan.

Pakistani Taliban militants have chosen a new deputy commander to replace their previous second-in-command who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in the North Waziristan region, sources in the militant group said on Thursday.

A US drone targeted a compound in the restive North Waziristan tribal region on Friday, killing 21 suspected militants in the first such attack since Pakistan reopened NATO supply routes to neighbouring Afghanistan.

Ending a bitter seven-month standoff, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton apologised to Pakistan on Tuesday for the killing of 24 of its troops last fall and won in return the reopening of critical NATO supply lines into Afghanistan. The agreement could save the US hundreds of millions of dollars.

The United States and Pakistan are expected to soon reach an agreement to reopen ground routes key for supplying NATO troops in Afghanistan, a Pakistani official said on Monday, in a move that could ease a seven-month crisis in the two countries' ties.

US missiles fired from a drone in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border killed eight suspected militants early on Sunday, officials said, as the controversial American strikes continue despite Islamabad's persistent demands that they stop.

The White House has ruled out an apology to Islamabad for November 26 incident in which 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in a NATO cross border fire and said it is time that the two countries move ahead, two days after such a demand was made by Pakistan People's Party leader Bilawal Bhutto.

US missiles killed four militants in a Taliban stronghold of Pakistan on Wednesday, officials said, amid increasing strains with the West over a six-month blockade on NATO supplies into Afghanistan.

Pakistan's parliament on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution for resetting the country's troubled relations with the US, calling for an "immediate cessation" of American drone strikes and an apology for the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers in a NATO air strike.

A United States military investigation has concluded that checks and balances devised to prevent cross-border mishaps with Pakistan failed to avert a deadly NATO airstrike last month in part because American officials did not trust Pakistan enough to give it detailed information about American troop locations in Afghanistan.

Struggling to restore flagging ties with Pakistan in the aftermath of the deadly NATO strike, the Obama administration has said it has not cut any civilian aid to the country, noting the move in this regard was part of a defence bill in the Congress.

Pakistan has decided to deploy air defence weapons on its border with Afghanistan to pre-empt fresh attacks by NATO and allied forces in the wake of a cross-border air strike that killed 24 soldiers, according to a media report on Friday.
