MIRAMSHAH: A Nato helicopter from Afghanistan intruded into Pakistan?s North Waziristan region on Tuesday, wounding two troops, local intelligence officials said, adding to tensions between Islamabad and the West. ?It happened early morning,? a Pakistani intelligence official in the region, who declined to be identified, told Reuters. ?The helicopter hit a Pakistani check post on the border in the Datta Khel area.?

Another intelligence official said several Pakistani helicopters took off from Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, towards the site of the attack. The purpose of the Pakistani mobilisation was unclear.
The Pakistan army lodged a ?strong protest? with Nato in Afghanistan over what it said was a violation of Pakistani air space by two helicopters, a military statement said.
The military condemned the violation and has requested for a flag meeting with Nato officials, DawnNews quoted ISPR spokesman Athar Abbas as saying.
Lieutenant-Commander Colette Murphy, a spokeswoman for the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf), said in Kabul that the coalition was aware of the reports and looking into them, but had no immediate comment.
North Waziristan is the base of the Haqqani network blamed for the insurgency in eastern Afghanistan. US-led drone aircraft have repeatedly targeted the area over the past year.
Many militants, including foreign fighters loyal to al Qaeda, are based in Datta Khel. It is a stronghold of fighters loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur and has been a frequent target of US drone strikes.
Pakistan?s private news channel said the checkpost targeted in the latest attack was located right on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan
