  • Comments Off on Nato’s claim of killing 19 local Taliban unfounded: ISPR
A spokesman of ISPR has strongly refuted and contradicted a news item appearing in a section of the press quoting Nato spokesperson that 19 local Taliban were killed in a Coalition attack inside Pakistan, for which prior permission was obtained.

The spokesman said that no permission has been granted to Coalition Forces for carrying out strikes inside Pakistani territory and no attack or firing incident has taken place.

The spokesman reiterated that there is no understanding between Pakistan and Coalition Forces for carrying out operations within Pakistani territory. Pakistani Security Forces are capable of undertaking any operation against militants within Pakistan.
