Addressing the media at the Islamabad Press Club, governor KPK said that the blood of the fallen soldiers will not be spilt in vain. To a question that Pakistan had blocked the supply route following the attack, Barrister Kausar said, “The answer lies in your question.” To another question, he said that this attack will not go unnoticed. It was reported that NATO helicopters fired on an army checkpost in the northwest killing at least 25 soldiers. Pakistan closed the key border crossing used by coalition forces to supply their troops in neighbouring Afghanistan after the attack.
