Pakistan asks US to vacate Shamsi airbase within 15 days | World | DAWN.COM
Pakistan on Saturday ordered the United States to vacate a controversial airbase within 15 days and closed NATO supply lines into Afghanistan permanently in response to a deadly cross-border Nato air strike..
Shamsi is on Pakistan soil, is fairly remote, and is used by US to launch drone strikes. It will be a setback for US to vacate it.
More importantly, US and Pak relations are officially on a free-fall.
