Seeking 'clarification' of US strike on Afghan Taliban leader: foreign office

[GEO.TV] The Pak Foreign Office said it was "seeking clarification" about a US drone strike against Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour, the foreign ministry front man said on Sunday, after US officials said Mansour was likely killed in an air strike.

"I have seen the reports. We are seeking clarification," Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said in a statement.

He added that Pakistain wanted the Afghan Taliban to return to the negotiating table to end the long war in Afghanistan.

"Military action is not a solution," he added.
