ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has rejected the US report pertaining to Nato s
attack on Pakistani check post on November 26 that killed 24 soldiers,
saying that with Brigadier General Stephen Clark as head, the
investigation can never bring out unbiased findings, Geo News reported
Wednesday. According to sources, Pakistan has dismissed the report on
Nato attack as the head of investigating team Brigadier General Stephen
Clark has been linked to the strategic team involved in the attack. And
that is why, he is believed to be an inappropriate choice to carry out
investigation as a neutral party. A report by military investigators was
delivered to General Ashfaq Kayani on Sunday by a US officer based in
Islamabad, who explained the findings to the general, Pentagon spokesman
Captain John Kirby told reporters.The full report from the joint
US-Nato investigative team was not released publicly until Monday to
allow time for the Pakistani leadership to read the findings first,
Kirby said.'We wanted General Kayani to be able to see the entire
thing,' he said. The approach represented 'an appropriate professional
courtesy' to Kayani, he added.A summary of the report was released
Thursday and the officer who led the investigation, Brigadier General
Stephen Clark, briefed reporters by phone the same day.
