Nato denies shelling across Pakistan border
[Dawn] The US embassy in Islamabad has denied claims that Nato soldiers in Afghanistan fired mortars across the Pakistain border, killing at least three people.
They weren't morters. They were... something else. Hey -- have you seen what our latest UAVs can do?
Officials in the thug-infested Pakistain region of North Wazoo on Friday claimed shells fired by coalition forces battling Taliban fighters in the Afghan province of Khost had smashed into houses in Saidgi village.
Perhaps the Saidgians should consider not hosting the kind of people who get houses destroyed...Or perhaps they were the ones who called in the targetting coordinates.
But in a statement issued Friday, the embassy said the claims were "completely false".
"We almost always hit what we aim at," the statement explained.
"According to Nato International Security Assistance Force officials, coalition forces in Afghanistan fired no mortars into Pakistain, nor were they engaged in combat operations in the vicinity of the border area near Saidgi," the statement said.
"We, of course, know nothing of the activities of any Special Forces or other units not listed on our manifests, nor what might be happening at that cute little UAV control office Stateside."
