President Barack Obama has told Pakistan's president that the NATO
airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers were not deliberate attacks
and that the U.S. is committed to a full investigation.
The
strikes along the border with Afghanistan last weekend have further
strained ties between the U.S. and Pakistan as the Obama administration
tries to wind down the war in Afghanistan.
The White House says
Obama and Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari, reaffirmed their
countries' relationship and agreed to keep in close touch.
