The report received is the same un version as available on the US Central Command (CENTCOM) Website. The analysis of the US Investigation Report has been carried out by Pakistan Military with a view to reiterate facts and correct the perspective. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Pakistan does not agree with several portions and findings of the Investigation Report as these are factually not correct. The fundamental cause of the incident of 26th November 2011 was the failure of US / ISAF to share its near-border operation with Pakistan at any level. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This obviously was a major omission, as were several others, like the complicated chain of command, complex command and control structure and unimaginative / intricate Rules of Engagement as well as lack of unified military command in Afghanistan. In addition to the foregoing, US / ISAF violated all mutually agreed procedures with Pakistan for near-border operations put in place to avert such uncalled for actions. It also carried out unprovoked engagement of Pakistani Posts located inside Pakistan violating the US / ISAF mandate which is limited to Afghanistan alone.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The US Investigation Report is structured around the argument of “self defence” and “proportional use of force”, an argument which is contrary to facts. Continued engagement by US / ISAF despite being informed about the incident at multiple levels by Pakistan Military within minutes of initiation of US / ISAF fire, belies the “self defence” and “proportional use of force” contention. Affixing partial responsibility of the incident on Pakistan is therefore, unjustified and unacceptable. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/press/pakistan.pdf">Pakistan's Perspective on Investigation Report conducted by BG Stephen Clark into 26th November 2011 US led ISAF-NATO Forces Attack on Pakistani Volcano and Boulder Posts in Mohmand Agency</a><br /> <br /> By Pakistan’s Inter Services Public Relations’ (ISPR)<br /> <div> <br /></div> </div> </div>

These are the hard questions on the mind of every one concerned about Pakistan and Afghanistan.<br> <br> So far it seems that ISAF is looking to get out of this situation by trying to place blame on others. First came the usual suspects, when western media outlets started quoting  anonymous sources that Pakistani side fired at the US& Afghan forces and provoked the air strike.<br> <br> But DG ISPR, Maj Gen Abbas was able to shoot this strike down when it was just taking off by saying, "Nato and Afghanistan are trying to wriggle out of the situation by offering excuses. Where are their casualties ?"<br> <br> Then comes the second suspect that it might have been a mistake as NATO wasn't aware of the Pakistani positions but DG ISPR said, "The two military posts, named Volcano and Golden, were located on a ridge in Mohmand region around 300m from Afghan border (and) their exact location was provided to Nato."<br> <br> The security analysts believe if current actions of blocking NATO & ISAF supply route, orders to vacate the Shamsi Air Base and diplomatic decisions like boycott of the international conference on Afghanistan in Bonn, doesn't result in a formal apology and concrete steps from ISAF to stop such attacks in future than Pakistani federal government may be forced to more ahead with blocking the free air corridor which allow US and NATO forces for over-flights into Afghanistan.<br> <br> With ever increasing pressure from the public, Pakistani federal government will be hard pressed to block the air corridor provided to US in case of another attack by the ISAF forces..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></div>
