Iran demands Afghanistan cancel US drone flights (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? The official Iranian news agency says Iran's foreign minister is demanding that Afghanistan stop letting the U.S. launch drone flights over his country.

Iran has displayed a pilotless American aircraft it says was forced to land two weeks ago during a mission over Iran. The U.S. says it went down because of a malfunction.

The Thursday report by official IRNA news agency quotes Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as saying Tehran has demanded that Kabul not to allow the U.S. use Afghanistan's land and airspace to conduct further intelligence operations.

Salehi says further operations would be seen as "unfriendly act."

The remark by Salehi is seen as a response to U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who said Wednesday in Afghanistan that the operations will continue.
