Pakistan protests US-led intrusion

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday said it has lodged a protest with America over an incursion into its territory by US-led coalition troops operating in Afghanistan and demanded an inquiry into the incident.
Pakistan found that the coalition troops “intruded� into North Waziristan area bordering Afghanistan and searched a number of shops before moving back to Afghanistan on Monday evening, foreign office spokesman Masood Khan told reporters here.
Earlier, reports here said that some 60 coalition soldiers in four Humvee trucks intruded two kilometres inside the Pakistani territory in Lwara Mandai Bazaar in Dattakhel tehsil.
