Published Updated

US Ambassador Cameron Munter on Thursday called on Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and discussed mutual relations as well as regional situation. As no official account to the meeting was available, but sources said that the ambassador met the Foreign Minister here at the Foreign Office prior to the release of the findings of US Central Command to Nato's last month Salala air-strike killing 24 Pakistani soldiers.
Brigadier General Stephen Clark of US Air Force Special Operations Command on Thursday released the findings of the US Central Command's investigation into the November 25-26 engagement between US and Pakistani military forces across the border, which says that mistakes were made on both sides.
The incident proved to be damaging to the mutual co-operation between the two countries in the war against terrorism that promoted Islamabad to vacate its Shamsi air-base from Americans, previously known for drone operations in the country's tribal region and halting the Nato supply line. Sources said that the two leaders discussed the relation between the two countries in the wake of last month Nato attack.
