The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has strongly condemned the recent NATO attacks against two Pakistani border posts which reportedly killed 24 Pakistani military personnel and left many others injured. While conveying his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and the government of Pakistan, the Secretary General noted that the attacks are indeed serious violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and are totally unacceptable. He assured Pakistan of the continued solidarity of the OIC and expressed his expectation for the prevention of any recurrence of such incidents. The Secretary General then urged NATO to avoid any action that could further complicate the already dire security situation in the region.
