KABUL - Afghan defence minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid accused Pakistan on Sunday of providing airspace for US drones to enter his country, characterising the incursions as a continuation of Washington's"invasion".
The Pakistani military has previously denied allowing the country's airspace to be used, most recently over the Zawahiri case. "They are doing this shamelessly. We condemn this illegal act and demand that the Americans put an end to it." The drone attack in July that killed Zawahiri, bin Laden's successor, was the first known strike by the United States on a target in Afghanistan since Washington withdrew its forces from the country on Aug 31 last year."We will share the details when it is complete," he said.
