PARIS — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice offered her personal regrets to Pakistan on Friday for the deaths of soldiers whom the United States called partners in the battle against terrorism.
The two nations remained at odds over what happened and whether the U.S. accidentally killed friendly forces.
Pakistan agreed to join a U.S. investigation of Tuesday’s bombing, which Pakistan says killed 11 of its soldiers camped along the Afghan border. The U.S. military claims only enemy insurgents were targeted.
Rice met with Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Paris and told him the U.S. regrets the incident.
It was part of a U.S. effort to smooth relations with an important ally now under new management.
