Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has insisted that NATO attack on the country's security post, leading to deaths of around 28 soldiers, was not accidental, and therefore, only an apology is not enough.

"Pakistan cannot see its soldiers being killed by allied forces any more," The News quoted Khar, as saying.

Protests in Pakistan have forced the US to vacate a remote air base in that country used for drone flights.

American officials, however, said the move would not have a significant impact on the operations against militants. 


Meanwhile, Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein has said that the Obama administration should apologise to Pakistan if an official investigation shows that last Saturday’s NATO airstrikes on Pakistani soldiers were "a mistake."

"I'm one who believes that, if we made a mistake, we should admit it, we should apologise,"  Feinstein, a Democrat from California, said.
