US copters in Pakistan fired on No injuries, but attack signals rising hostility By Bryan Bender, Globe Correspondent, 10/23/2001 WASHINGTON - Two US military helicopters were strafed by small arms fire over Pakistan yesterday - an ominous sign for American forces who are counting on Pakistan to support the US campaign against terror in neighboring Afghanistan. The hostile action - the first against troops in Pakistan since the US bombing of Afghanistan began two weeks ago - was confirmed by Pentagon officials who declined to be named. It underscores the growing anti-American feeling among Pakistan's Muslim populace, and reflects the threat it represents to the US troops operating on, or over, Pakistan's soil. Officials said the two US military helicopters were fired on when they tried to recover the wreckage from a Blackhawk helicopter that crashed in southern Pakistan on Friday, killing two servicemen. The helicopters returned to base. No injuries were reported. US officials quickly notified the Pakistani government through diplomatic channels, and asked that Pakistan remove hostile forces from the area so that the crash recovery could resume, a defense official said. The identity of the attackers is unknown, but officials suspect Islamic radicals aligned with the Taliban and opposed to the US presence in Pakistan. boston.com
