"The control of the base has been taken over by the Army," the statement from Pakistan said.
But the incident has rocked Washington's alliance with its counter-terrorism ally Islamabad,

Following the November air strikes, Pakistan closed two border crossings to Afghanistan to US and NATO supplies and gave American personnel until Sunday to leave Shamsi air base.
