Pakistani Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi Thursday said the Afghan and US-led coalition forces' air strike in Pakistan's tribal area was unprovoked and senseless.
Qureshi met the Secretary General of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jaap de Hoop Scheffer on the sidelines of International Conference in Support of Afghanistan in Paris and told him that the attack is a blatant and willful negation of the sacrifices Pakistan has made in the war against terrorism, the News Network International news agency reported.

"The Foreign Minister conveyed the strong reaction voiced in the parliament and the sentiments of the people of Pakistan on the unprovoked and senseless attack on a Pakistani post in Mohmand Agency by the coalition forces," a Foreign Ministry statement said in Islamabad.
