Pakistan has closed both the Torkham and Chaman border crossings to NATO after an emergency meeting of the Cabinet's defence committee chaired by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
Cabinet's defence committee chaired by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has also demanded to vacate the drone operations at Shamsi which is located about 200 miles southwest of Quetta in Baluchistan Province.
Imran Khan said “Americans are attacking and killing our soldiers, We have been crying for a long time that this is not our war.”
The incident was a major blow to American efforts to rebuild an already tattered alliance vital to winding down the 10-year-old Afghan war.
A former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, Maleeha Lodhi said “The relationship is on a much more slippery slope now. This is as close as you can get to a rupture.”
