These planes flew near the Pakistani border, but did not cross into the airspace of Pakistan,”[44] PAF was working under the peace time conditions prior to the May 2 incident on the eastern border. Defence Secretary Lt-Gen (retd) Syed Athar Ali provided a detailed statement explaining the salient features of Pakistan’s defence policy. “He apprised the commission that none of the government departments including the ministry of defence, the Joint Staff Headquarters or any military service ever considered the US or Afghanistan a direct threat,” said an official handout issued after the meeting.[45]
