On 8 September 2008 , a spokesman for the Pakistani army condemned Washington 's killing of Pakistani civilians and warned of retaliatory action : " Border violations by US-led forces in Afghanistan , which have killed scores of Pakistani civilians , would no longer be tolerated , and we have informed them that we reserve the right to self defense and that we will retaliate if the US continues cross-border attacks . " The drone attacks continue , despite repeated requests made by ex-Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari through different channels . Baitullah Mehsud , while claiming responsibility for the 2009 Lahore police academy attacks , stated that it was in retaliation for the drone attacks . According to '' The Daily Telegraph '' , Pakistani intelligence has agreed to secretly provide information to the United States on Mehsud 's and his militants ' whereabouts while publicly the Pakistani government will continue to condemn the attacks
