Pak dismisses Afghan minister's allegation about allowing use of its airspace by US for drone attack

Pakistan has rejected allegations by the Taliban’s acting defence minister about the use of its airspace by the US for drone attacks in Afghanistan, saying his remarks were “highly regrettable” and defied the “norms of responsible diplomatic conduct.” The allegations were made by Mohammad Yaqoob on Sunday, nearly a month after al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a missile fired from a CIA drone against his hideout in central Kabul on July 31.
