ISLAMABAD: A briefing by the head of the US Central Command to Pakistani officials on a November 26 cross-border Nato air attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers and severely strained ties with Washington has been cancelled, a Pakistani official said on Friday.
News that General James N Mattis' visit to Pakistan has been cancelled came a day after the United States announced that its investigation into the attack found both American and Pakistani forces were to blame for the border incident.
According to the investigation report, a lack of trust and series of miscommunications contributed to the events that took place on November 26.
On the other hand, Pakistan has rejected the US inquiry report.
“Pakistan’s army does not agree with the findings of the US/Nato inquiry as being reported in the media. The inquiry report is short on facts,” the military said in a short statement.
“A detailed response will be given as and when the formal report is received,” it said.

hehehehehe, dats funny, bt dude nw u watchup wot v can do... just wait revo cum bring!
How can they ever win when they are so stupid that they kill their own allies and do not have the courtesy of even apologizing??
Why Pakistan need briefing from those "Liars". WMD in Iraq, and now They are calling Taliban Friend with 10 years of innocent killings in both countries.
@Saboor:
From your remark it would seem you pleased that the NATO and the US are not winning.
This says much more about you than it does about NATO or the US. It seems you are like many in PAK who fully support terrorism.
Deal with it.
My Dear Cautious, you are obviously working hard! I like your agency's work ethic. I wish our boys in uniform were as hard working as you and your colleagues active on our websites..but we welcome you, though you are doing a duty but you add to the flavour of discussion..
Pakistan should have only financial relationship with the US and that too only one way!
As a Paki, I understand the national anger towards U.S. - however I favour engagement, it's in our favour to engage with U.S. on this and every other matter relevant to war on terror. Do we not wish to avoid another such accident?
Also guys, its important to respect others point of view/ perspective. Civilized engagement and some sensible dialogue will get us further than we think!
@Roflcopter: even all kind of relations should ban with U.S on their insurgent
@Cautious:
Would you stop bashing Pakistan in your comments please. Do you get paid for this or what ?
There is no need for the briefing of US findings.
Every one knows how 24 innocent Pakistani soldiers were killed at Salala Check Post and who killed them.
@Cautious: Wonder "Which Stage" are the "Iraqi WMDs Investigation" at now???
@cautious
dude why do you even come on our news websites?
A briefing would be a courtesy -- but it's obvious to the American's and the rest of the World that Pakistan isn't interesting in facts, truth, or anything that might contradict inflammatory statements made immediately after the tragedy. Your refusal to participate in an investigation makes it clear that you have no interest in understanding the cause of tragedy.
Which side cancelled the visit/briefing?????
