ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has suspended command and chain system and ordered the troops to counter any aggression with full force to defend the motherland against any assailant.

Reports stated that the Army Chief has suspended the command and chain system to enable the senior officers on the posts to take appropriate action in case Pakistani forces come under attack.

Reports further said that decision would, however, be applicable to eventualities involving NATO troops.

He also said that the Pak Air Force should have taken action while NATO helicopters had violated the Pakistani airspace and attacked the Pakistani posts, sources said.

In a letter written to the armed forces chiefs, COAS General Kayani has said that the PAF jets must have dashed to the border area after the Nato attack.

General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has also observed that the communication of the attacked posts had snapped after the NATO attack. He said that now the senior officer on the ground would decide about counter measures.
