MIRANSHAH, Pakistan — NATO helicopters from Afghanistan wounded two Pakistani soldiers in a cross-border attack Tuesday, officials said, triggering a "strong protest" from Islamabad as tensions with the US simmered after Osama bin Laden's death.
Pakistan's ambassador to the United States defended his country's blockade of a NATO supply line Sunday and hinted it was triggered by uncertainty in his government over whether Pakistan and the US are on the same side in the war against the Taliban.
