US troops enter Pakistan to probe attacks in Afghanistan

MIRAN SHAH: Dozens of US soldiers crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan while probing a shooting incident on their side, officials said today. The US soldiers in armoured vehicles entered the market town of Lwara, three kilometers from the Afghan border, around 7:45 pm on Saturday, a local administration official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Pakistan on Wednesday lodged a protest with the United States after a previous incursion by US forces operating in the eastern Afghanistan's Khost province. However military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan said the US soldiers committed no border violation. "If it was a violation we would have lodged a protest," he said. "The US troops came only up to our border check post in three vehicles. They enquired from the FC (paramilitary Frontier Corps) soldiers about a firing incident in the area and went back," he said. "They did not enter into our territory," the spokesman said, adding that helicopters apparently circling the area also "did not come to our side." US authorities said the crossing occurred amid an ongoing operation by their forces on the Afghan side of the border as they hunt for Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants (Reuters)
