<http://www.presstv.ir/photo/20080728/shafabakhsh20080728175313125.jpg> US drones armed with missiles step up patrols over Pakistan's border Top Pakistani officer warns US general of repeated missile strikes that damage bilateral ties and urges respect for territorial integrity. General Tariq Majid, chairman of Pakistan's Joint Chiefs of Staff warned the visiting head of US Central Command, Lieutenant General Martin Dempsey of straining ties between the two countries hours after US missile strikes in Pakistan territory left six dead. 'Our sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected, any violation in this regard could be detrimental to bilateral relations,' General Majid said in a meeting with Dempsey in the garrison town of Rawalpindi on Monday. He "also reemphasized that Pakistan armed forces are capable of handling any challenges to our security." The US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan early Monday launched a missile that landed in South Waziristan tribal region and killed six people including three boys. More than 60 civilians have been killed in this year's US strikes in Pakistan from Afghan territory. Pakistan's tribal areas are believed to be hide-out for Taliban and al-Qaeda militants who carry out cross-border attacks on international forces and Afghan troops. Pakistan has been under pressure from the US and other coalition partners to stop the militants from entering Afghanistan. The peace talks between the Pakistani government and the militants have also raised criticism from the opponents. Afghan President Hamid Karzai blamed Pakistani Intelligence, the ISI, of involvement in the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul that left 60 people dead. But, General Majid said the "baseless allegations against Pakistan could affect mutual trust and would definitely influence our efforts in the war against terror."
