One of Pakistan’s most respected English-language newspapers, Dawn, published leaked US diplomatic cables Saturday indicating US troops provided assistance in 2009 in the tribal areas of Bajur and North and South Waziristan. The cables were obtained through WikiLeaks.
The Pakistani army issued a statement late Saturday saying no US troops were involved in military operations in the tribal region. It specifically denied the presence of US
troops in North and South Waziristan.
The presence of US troops is contentious because of high anti-American sentiment in Pakistan.
