US apologizes for attack on Pakistani soldiers
ISLAMABAD ― The US apologized Wednesday for a recent helicopter attack that killed two Pakistani soldiers at an outpost near the Afghan border, saying the pilots mistook the soldiers for insurgents they were pursuing.
Pakistan today demanded an ''apology and explanation'' from the US for drone strikes in its tribal belt that Pakistani officials said killed 41 people, including members of a tribal jirga and personnel from a government militia force.
