Permalink Nato helicopters 'kill Pakistan checkpoint soldiers'

Nato helicopters have fired on a military checkpost near Pakistan's Afghan border, killing up to eight soldiers. The unprovoked and indiscriminate attack took place in the Pakistani tribal region of Mohmand, the Pakistani military said in a statement. - In response, Pakistan has closed the border crossing for supplies bound for Nato forces in Afghanistan. Nato said it was aware of "an incident" near the border and was investigating. The alleged attack took place at the Salala checkpoint, about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the Afghan border, Reuters reports, at around 02:00 local time (21:00 GMT). If confirmed, the attack would further complicate US-Pakistan relations, already under strain following a unilateral US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in May. Unnamed officials initially put the toll at up to eight, including an army major, but it has since risen. At least seven soldiers were wounded.
