Get Feed- Description
- Reports of Pakistani forces opposing US military incursions across the border from Pakistan have now been denied by officials in both Islamabad and at the Pentagon. Pakistani sources told Reuters on Sept 15 that US helicopters were fired upon by Pakistani troops near Angur Abba in South Waziristan, and turned back while attempting to cross the border under the cover of darkness. The same day the Pakistani English-language daily Dawn reported that Pakistani fighter jets had scrambled and intercepted a USspy plane" (this could have been an unmanned aerial vehicle) in or near North Waziristan that then returned to Afghanistan.
