U.S. talked with Pakistan before fatal airstrike killed 24 pakis 'on Afghan soil'

U.S. officials say Pakistan troops fired upon coalition forces before the airstrikes. One has to do with the reported firing on U.S. and Afghan forces, which allegedly prompted the airstrike. (CNN) -- U.S. and Pakistani officials both said Friday there was communication between the two sides before a controversial, fatal airstrike last weekend, but they differed on the content of those conversations, with a Pakistani military spokesman saying the attack hit the wrong target.
A U.S. official said that the Clark-led investigation is trying to determine who shot at the allied troops.
A U.S. official on Friday suggested that the strike's targets were not standard military outposts, but more like "encampments." "There were a bunch of tents, there was no base, there was no walled compound," the official said.
