On Sept 25, 2008, as an indication of escalating tensions between nations, Pakistani forces fired warning shots at American aircraft after they crossed into Pakistan’s territory in the area of Saidgai, in North Waziristan’s Datta Khel region.
On March 17, 2011, a US airstrike that killed 44 people in the city led to widespread condemnation in Pakistan.
