Islamabad : General Tariq Majad, Chief of the Pakistani Joint Major Staff, condemned Friday a new US bombing against its tribal territory, and warned that Pakistan keeps the right to counterattack.
A Predator non-crewed plane, operated by remote control, shot three missiles against a house in the village of Gorwack, North Waziristan, killing four women and three children, local authorities reported Friday.
While welcomimg German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung, Majid warned that Pakistan kept its right to take appropriate measures in a near future.
Majid regarded the attack as artful, cruel and senseless, and said that such attacks are unacceptable, because those actions can affect Pakistani cooperation in the US war against terrorism.
This is the fourth attack by non-crewed planes in that zone, in which 18 people have died, and 15 were injured.
The US forces in Afghanistan have carried them out with the pretxt of giving a ahrsh blow to supposed bastions of the Taliban rebel movement or annihilate some of their leaders, who are supposedly sheltered in Afghan territory.
With such an excuse a US airborne command landed in Achar Khel, South Waziristan, and killed the occupiers of three dwellings.
The result was 20 dead people, including 5 women and 4 children.
In the conversation with the German Defense Minister, Majid accused the Afghani government of slander, to cover their own failures.
He referred to accusations by Kabul’s government of possible involvement of the Pakistani intelligence service in recent attacks on Afghani soil, in which foreign citizens have died.
