Islamabad, Feb 22 (IANS) In what is seen as the first signal of Pakistan’s assertion against US policies in its area, Islamabad has ordered the army to shoot at US troops if they intrude into the country from Afghanistan without authorisation.
“Pakistan has issued new rules of engagement permitting its army to fire at US forces that cross the border from Afghanistan without coordinating first,” the Daily Times newspaper said Tuesday in a report from Washington.
