| Tidbit found in a much longer story about how Afghanistan is going to hell, etc, etc. EFL Also Saturday, two pro-government Afghan soldiers were wounded in a skirmish with Pakistani troops along Afghanistan border with Pakistan. "There was fresh fighting for a few hours late on Saturday between members of the Afghan border patrol and the Pakistani military," Haji Ibrar, a security official based in the main eastern city of Jalalabad said. Ibrar said the fighting, the latest in a series of incidents involving Pakistani troops along the mountainous border between the two countries, prompted the residents of two nearby villages to flee their homes. Elders in the surrounding province of Nangarhar, particularly tribesmen living near the border, say Pakistani troops have been infiltrating up to 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) into Afghan territory for the past three weeks. Naughty, naughty.
"Nope, ain’t us. Must be them Eskimos." Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the main backer of the now-ousted Taliban regime, have increased recently. | |
