Pentagon refuses comment on charges of cross-border raid in Pakistan
0 Comments | AFP, September, 2008
WASHINGTON (AFP) — The Pentagon declined comment Wednesday on Pakistani charges that at least 15 people were killed in a cross border raid by Afghan-based international forces.
"I don't have anything for you on those reports," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman, refusing further comment.
A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said he had no word of such a raid, and that the force does not have a mandate to attack outside the borders of Afghanistan unless its troops come under fire from within Pakistan.
Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned the attack, which would mark the first time that Pakistani officials have alleged a direct attack on its territory by foreign troops since 2001.
