Islamabad, Sep 5 (Xinhua) Pakistan’s army Friday condemned the cross-border military actions on Pakistani territory by Afghanistan-based international security forces in hot pursuit of Taliban and Al Qaeda militants and said they reserved the right to retaliate.

‘Such attacks would be counter productive and Pakistan reserves the right to appropriately retaliate in future,’ General Tariq Majid, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), said in a meeting with German Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung.

Franz Josef Jung and Tariq Majid exchanged views on bilateral ties and regional security environment, an army statement said.

A spokesman of Inter-services Public Relations Wednesday said that International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops in two helicopters landed early Wednesday at a village near Angoor Adda, South Waziristan Agency and killed seven civilians.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi Thursday strongly condemned the attack and called it ’shameful, uncalled for and unprovoked’.

He added that the US ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Office for protest, according to News Network International news agency.
