The commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, US General John Allen, is likely to visit Pakistan on June 27 to review border co-ordination measures with Pakistan army chief General Ashfaq Kayani, Pakistan's military said in a statement on Monday. Islamabad and Washington are locked in difficult talks to repair badly frayed ties, at their lowest point in years after a cross-border Nato air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November last year.
Pakistan blocked overland supply routes to Nato forces in Afghanistan to protest against the strike. Meanwhile, a US drone strike targeting a militant compound in tribal district killed at least five militants late Tuesday, security officials said. The unmanned aircraft fired two missiles on the compound in the Shawal area, some 50 kilometres south-west of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan tribal district, near the Afghan border.
"At least five militants have been killed and three have been wounded. The compound was completely destroyed," a senior security official based in Peshawar city told AFP. All those killed were fighters linked with local warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur, another security official based in Miranshah told AFP. Bahadur, who is allied with Afghan Taliban, is accused of fighting US-led troops across the border.
