Pakistan orders troops to return fire if attacked on Afghan border

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's top military commander has issued orders to the country's troops to return fire should they come under attack again from U.S.-led coalition forces in a move likely to increase tensions after last week's American-led raid on two border outposts that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, Pakistan’s army chief, issued the order in a letter to his troops that set out the rules of engagement against any “aggressor.”

The new orders came as Pakistan and U.S. officials continue to trade conflicting accounts of what happened in the incident, which U.S. officials say came after a joint U.S.-Afghan unit took fire from the Pakistan side of the border but which Pakistani officials say was unprovoked. No American or Afghan casualties were reported in the incident, which is now believed to have occurred shortly before midnight last Saturday.

Kayani's order, issued Thursday, could lead to a skirmish between Pakistani and coalition forces, supposedly allies, if there were another incident of “friendly fire” at the border. It also turns the deployment of over 100,000 Pakistan troops along its western border from a force meant to stop the Taliban to border protection duty.

I can see it now, I'll bet next time a NATO aircraft trys to blow up a bunch of uniformed Pakistani military and they don't just die like good pop up targets but rather shoot back... OO the hysteria, 'Pakistan the terror nation' they'll call it. The Pakistani military should wise up and put some SAM's on the Afghanistan border and control their airspace, as I remember this isn't the first "friendly fire" they've taken from NATO aircraft.

How the hell do you blow up 24+ uniformed Pakistanis on the Afghanistan boarder with all the modern tech we have? Did they even look before they shot? Did they just guess? I can't Imagine how many civilians we've killed that way if they can't even identify Paki Army from taliban types?...
