Pakistan troop fire turns back US helicopters

KHAR: As many as two US helicopters once again tried to fly into Pakistani airspace however, on time action by Pakistan’s security forces and the tribals forced them to trace their way back into Afghanistan.

However, Pakistan Army Spokesman and allied forces denied the incident.

The incident took place near Angor Adda, a village in the tribal region of South Waziristan where U.S. commandos in helicopters raided a suspected al Qaeda and Taliban camp earlier this month.

"The U.S. choppers came into Pakistan by just 100 to 150 meters at Angor Adda. Even then our troops did not spare them, opened fire on them and they turned away," said one security official.
