NATO helicopters entered Pakistan this weekend in pursuit of insurgents. NATO's involvement did not violate any international rules of engagement, specifically in this case of chasing insurgents over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, according to Major Michael Johnson. Pakistan, however, does not feel the same way. Pakistan believes it was a "clear violation and breach" of the United Nations rules for forces. Pakistan claims there are no rules on pursuit of those from Afghanistan into Pakistan. The helicopters, from the U.S, were responding to an attack on a remote Afghan National Security Force outpost.
