ISLAMABAD, Oct 12 (KUNA) -- Only two days after Pakistan re-opened supply
routes for NATO forces in Afghanistan, the allied forces helicopters early
Tuesday reportedly again violated Pakistans aerial space.
Two NATO helicopters entered into Pakistan air space and flew back after
buzzing the bordering tribal area for few minutes, citing unnamed sources
local news channels reported.
No immediate official confirmation of the violation was available, which
came two days after Pakistan re-opened supply routes for NATO tankers.
Pakistan had closed all routes for NATO supplies after three soldiers were
killed in an aerial strike by NATO forces.
It was only after formal apologies from the US ambassador and the US
military chief that Pakistan decided to re-open the routes. During the closure
period, more than 150 NATO oil tankers were destroyed in militant attacks and
at least ten people were killed. (end)
