UNITED NATIONS:
Pakistan has written
to the UN and its
Security Council,
formalize its protests to the US
(and NATO in Brussels), and the
request at the US vacate the
Shamsi Airbase in 15 days.
Foreign press has obtained the
letter, and is putting it online,
here.
In the wake of the American /
NATO attack killing 24 Pakistani
soldiers, throughout Monday
foreign press put questions UN
Secretariat and Security Council
sources.
After Secretary General Ban Ki-
moon's deputy spokesman told
the press the UN had "no line"
or comment on the attack, a
Security Council Permanent
Representative told press to
"ask Ambassador Haroon" of
Pakistan, "he is back in town."
Later this same Permanent
Representative told press that
Haroon had submitted a formal
letter to Ban and the Council
about the attack. The Security
Council president for
November, Portuguese
Ambassador Cabral, told press
"The letter has just been
received."
Another Deputy Permanent
Representative confirmed to
press that he had seen it.
Following this, the press asked
US Ambassador Susan Rice, but
she said she hadn't seen it. Yet!
Moments later, the press
obtained the letter.. It recounts
protests with the US (and
NATO in Brussels), and the
request at the US vacate the
Shamsi Airbase in 15 days.
