Pakistan: The new frontline
By Paul Rogers
18 September 2008
The Reuters and McClatchy news agencies carried broadly similar reports (although there were variations in the suggested length of the engagement, between a few minutes and several hours). It was suggested that a Pakistani army unit even fired warning artillery-shots, but army sources denied any involvement and claimed that it was local paramilitaries that were responsible for the gunfire. Wherever the truth lies, it seems highly likely that a US cross-border operation was attempted but was subsequently abandoned.
