Today's papers carry the news that the NATO Chief has said that the
attack on Pakistani soldiers was un-intentional. Very generous of
him!!

Yesterday, I (a very old PAF veteran) talked to Lt Col Shahid Jan from
Peshawar. He had just visited CMH Peshawar to meet the wounded in
Salah Post by the US/NATO raid on night of 26 November. This is what
he told me.

There were 14 wounded lying in the surgical ward suffering a variety
of wounds. He talked to every one of them and asked them what had
happened. The crux of the account of the soldiers and officers was
that at about 11pm on 26th Nov a light aircraft came from across the
border, flew over the post and fired flares and returned. About half
an hour later armed helicopters and light aircraft came . They again
fired flares and began firing at the men. They remained in the area
for about 5 – 6 hours. During this time, the helicopter firing at
individual personnel at will. The post had only one 12.7 anti-aircraft
gun which opened fire. The gunner was shot. The major on the post took
up the gun and began firing at the helicopters. He was fired at again.
While changing position he was hit by a rocket or missile. His body
was blasted to pieces. Only his name-plate was found.

Every one of the men on the post was killed or wounded. They seemed to
be in no hurry and going after each individual separately. Having
finished the entire post, they peaceably went back without any
casualty on their part.

And the NATO Chief has the effrontery to say that it was un-intentional.

Now my question is, if for 5 to 6 hours this enemy action was taking
place and our ground troops were under such deliberate enemy fire,
where was the Army's reaction and where was the PAF during all this
time? I cannot believe that the Corps HQ or the PAF Northern Command
in Peshawar did not know what was going on,on the front. If so, both
should be disbanded for deliberate incompetence.See More
