    Pakistan Warns Cross-Border Raid Could Provoke Backlash

    CCNews asks, "Please pray the news"

    Foreign Minister Mahmood Qureshi, 21 May 2008



    Pakistani lawmakers have denounced Wednesday's raid by foreign troops in Pakistani territory, passing a resolution condemning the operation and vowing to repel similar attacks in the future. VOA's Barry Newhouse reports from Islamabad that the Pakistani military warned such operations could provoke a backlash in the country's volatile tribal regions.

    Foreign Minister Mahmood Qureshi said the government had already summoned the U.S. ambassador to complain.

    He said the operation was shameful because it violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a U.S. ally in the war against terrorism.

    Details about the raid remain unclear, including who was behind it. Western news agencies have reported that U.S. military sources claim American troops based in Afghanistan carried out the assault on a village less than two kilometers from the Afghan border. The number of people reported killed varied from seven to 20 and Pakistani officials said nearly all of them were civilians.

    Pakistan's military has worked with U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan for several years to establish guidelines governing military action along their shared border.
