Pakistan ‘concerned’ by NATO incursion near border

          NATO aircraft attacked one of its military posts in the northwest near the Afghan border and it had expressed its serious concern to the US embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan said Friday

          The incident in the Mohmand tribal region comes after relations between the United States and its ally hit a new low following the killing of Osama bin Laden by US SEALS in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad in May.

          The Pakistani foreign ministry said NATO aircraft intruded around 2.5 km inside Pakistani territory and attacked a military post.

          Its statement said Pakistan had conveyed its ‘serious concern’ to the US embassy.

          ‘A joint inquiry of the incident has also been requested,’ it said, without saying when did the incident took place.

          Local officials in Mohmand said it occurred early Friday and that a few bombs were dropped but no casualties were reported.

          Relations have been seriously damaged since the killing of al-Qaeda leader that Pakistan is crucial for the United States in its efforts to stabilize war-ravaged Afghanistan
