New Delhi, Mar 8 (IT): Pakistan's forestry department has filed an FIR against Indian Air Force pilots who bombed a terrorist training camp in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province last week.

What does the FIR say, you ask?

Answer: That more than a dozen trees -- 19, to be precise -- were damaged when the Indian jets "hastily dropped their payload", according to the Express Tribune newspaper.

As well, Pakistan has plans to lodge a complaint against India at the UN, accusing New Delhi of "eco-terrorism".

"What happened over there is environmental terrorism," Climate Change Minister Malik Amin Aslam told Reuters last week, saying dozens of pine trees had been felled. "There has been serious environmental damage."

Fierce political debate after pre-emptive strike

Last Tuesday, India said it had conducted a pre-emptive operation against Jaish-e-Mohammed inside Pakistan, killing a large number of terrorists (although no specific figure was mentioned). The Air Force later confirmed that it had hit its target.

Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa said the IAF does not count the dead, but only targets hit and missed.

"If we had dropped bombs in the jungle, then no need for him [Pakistan] to respond," Dhanoa told reporters in Coimbatore this week.

Meanwhile, fierce debate has focused on specific death toll numbers put out by top BJP leaders, as well as skeptical foreign media reports.

"Were you uprooting terrorists or trees?," asked Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, in an attack on the government.

Based on satellite imagery and its own reporting from a point 100 metres away from the camp, Reuters said it appeared to be undamaged. (But Pakistan did not allow Reuters access to the site from a different road, and one expert has said satellite photos indicate likely -- but not massive -- damage.)

Sources say the IAF has told the Centre that 80 per cent of bombs hit targets -- it has given the government proof in the form of satellite and radar imagery.
