Peshawar, Sept 8(ANI): The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government has said evidence suggested that NATO forces were involved in an cross-border attack on a Pakistani post in Chitral on August 27, which left 17 security personnel dead.
"Evidence indicates that the NATO forces were involved in the attack," the Daily Times quoted Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain, as saying after a cabinet meeting.
He also warned NATO and the Afghan Government of "serious consequences", if they did not stop attacks inside Pakistan's border areas in future.
"The cabinet has taken strong notice of this attack and we will not tolerate such attacks in future and the consequences will be serious if NATO and the Afghan government do not stop them," Hussain said.
The KP government spokesman disclosed that the attackers were dressed as Afghan National Army soldiers and NATO personnel when they attacked "our post (in Chitral) while the NATO forces are stationed across the border".
Hussain said that NATO forces had been mandated by the United Nations to move against militants inside Afghanistan, and that their "silence gave birth to many questions". (ANI)
