Paki soldiers mowed down by ally USA - CIA is in every country, yours too.

Pakistan sealed its Afghan border to Nato, shutting down a supplies lifeline for some 130,000 US-led foreign troops fighting Afghani people they have earmarked for being murdered without trial.

24? 26? dead.. number killed as high as 28?  12 soldiers mamed badly. Remember a CIA contractor who shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore? USA brings modern western democratic methods to the world. Fighting muslimhood? The anit-capitalist religion!!

The helicopters attacked two checkpoints around 1,000 feet apart from each other, one of them twice.

Pakistan said Nato helicopters and fighter aircraft fired unprovoked overnight Friday-Saturday on two army border posts, killing 24 to 26 troops and wounding 13, adding that Pakistani troops had returned fire.Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson "It's highly likely that this close air support, called by the ground forces, caused the casualties,"

The incident took place in a village of Salala, which is an area bordering the Kunar province of Afghanistan.
And located in the Tehsil Bayzai area of Mohmand Agency on the Pak-Afghan border

American forces were given 15 days to vacate the remote Shamsi airbase, secretive air base reportedly used by CIA drones which was secretly turned over to them after the 9/11 attacks

Two years ago, following a similar border incident that killed two Pakistani soldiers after they were mistaken for insurgents, Pakistan closed the border for 10 days.  The border was reopened after the United States formally apologised.

Pakistan had previously said it would expel the Americans from Shamsi, which was never carried out. This time it seemed serious.

Most drone flights now take place from an airbase at Jalalabad in Afghanistan.

Most recently, the Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. resigned amid claims he engineered a memo to Washington asking for its help in reining in the military in exchange for a raft of pro-American policies. He has denied any connection to the memo, but was replaced earlier this week by democracy activist Sherry Rehman. His successor, Sherry Rehman, has yet to arrive in Washington.

Pakistan has also lodged protests in NATO headquarters in Brussels.

The military said funerals will be held at 9:30 am Sunday in the northwestern city of Peshawar

Nato troops frequently carry out operations against Taliban insurgents close to the border with Pakistan, which in many places is unmarked, although the extent to which those operations are coordinated with Pakistan is unclear.

Afghan and US officials accuse Pakistani troops at worst of colluding with the Taliban or at best of standing by while insurgents fire across the border from Pakistani soil, often in clear sight of Pakistani border posts.

At the same time Pakistan, battling its own Taliban insurgency in the northwest and dependent on billions of dollars in US aid, gives the US-led war effort in Afghanistan vital logistics support.

Key questions remain unanswered about what exactly happened in Mohmand district, just hours after General John Allen, the US commander in Afghanistan, discussed coordination with Pakistan's army chief General Ashfaq Kayani.
