Rejoice - Sameer Khan killed in drone attack

After the NATO attack, the tension between U.S and Pakistan seems mounting up. The recent drone attack killed more than two dozens of Pakistani army near the army border post. As a result Pakistan at once stopped the border crossing and ordered the U.S army to vacate from the airbase from which the drone attack been done.

The Government demanded a complete review about the recent situation and the relationship with U.S as well as the NATO. On the other hand, the White House expressed regret and condolence about the incident and told that their higher army officials are in contact with the Pakistani officials to discuss the matter.

Last year similar incident happened but this time the situation is much serious and as a result the NATO work may be interrupted. The Torkham border was blocked last year as two Pakistani soldiers were killed by the NATO. But this time the total border between Pakistan and Afghanistan been blocked

Last year the joint US-Pakistan investigation proved that before the two Pakistani soldiers been killed ,the Pakistani soldiers actually fired to the U.S Helicopters by mistake .But now investigations are going on as the casualty is much more but yes the last news tells that after the talk with the U.S officials ,the Pakistan officials re-opened the border.
