Title
NATO raid angers Pakistan
Summary
A cross-border military air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers is being called a deliberate act of aggression by Pakistan’s military. The Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, was quoted as saying, “Enough is enough. The government will not tolerate any incident of spilling even a single drop of any civilian or soldier’s blood.” Pakistan has withdrawn from Afghanistan peace talks that will be taking place in Germany, in protest of the attack.
Analysis
Since the attacks were perceived as personal attacks on Pakistan, the Pakistani people are angry. They feel the need to remind the world of their importance by withdrawing from the peace talks.
