| NATO helicopters violate Pakistan airspace for 3rd time |
| 2010-10-20 |
| (KUNA) -- NATO helicopters on Tuesday again violated Pakistains airspace, the third incident of such kind since 30th September, said officials. Two NATO planes and one copter crossed ten to 12 kilometers inside Pak territorial air space in Khyber tribal agency and went back after a while, security officials told KUNA. This was the third airspace violation by NATO that has come amid renewed but old reports that Osama Bin Laden, the chief of Al-Qaeda organization, is hiding in northwestern region of Pakistain. Pak Interior Minister Rehman Malik categorically rejected the report and said that "Bin Laden ... and all other beturbanned goons are anti-Islam and anti-Pakistain and hired assassins. If we have any information we will take action against them." In the first airspace violation by NATO helicopters on September 30th, three Pak Army soldiers were killed and two were maimed. In protest to the killings, Pakistain closed down all supply routes for NATO forces in Afghanistan. Eventually, the US apologized for the incident and Islamabad, subsequently, reopened the routes. |

| #6 If you can't control it, it's not your "territorial air space", it's no-man's land. |

| #4 Well, Pakistan violated US airspace a while back, I seem to recall. We really haven't done anything about it, either. |

| #3 I am of the opinion that Pakistan needs to be violated more. |

| #2 This is a good experiment in border control strategy development. It will help US when the Arizona National Guard drifts south on recon for the border patrol. |

| #1 Maybe Pakistan should declare war, or kick Al-Qaeda out. If you are going to allow terrorist to reside in your boarders don't be surprised when more civilized nations come knocking and asking questions. |
