US planes violate Pak airspace

US planes violate Pak airspace

FROM NASAR MOHMAND
MOHMAND AGENCY - A number of United States spy planes violated Pakistan’s airspace at Khawaezai and Bayeezai areas of Mohmand Agency overnight Sunday.
The US planes entered Pakistani tribal areas of Mohmand Agency late Saturday night at around 11.50pm and remained in the air for around one hour. During this period, the planes kept patrolling in the area.
It was the third time since Friday that American planes entered Mohmand Agency areas. Though frequent violations of Pakistani airspace by the US planes resulted in unrest amongst the local tribesmen, the planes returned without any action.
The personnel of law-enforcement agencies on the Pak-Afghan border also remained silent during the violation of airspace by the US planes.
