Kayani urges Isaf commander to curb border incursions
2012-06-28
[Dawn] The Pak Army chief has expressed his reservations to Isaf commander Gen John Allen over cross border incursions by faceless myrmidons based in Afghanistan, DawnNews reported.

Gen Allen, the top commander of American and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
forces in Afghanistan was visiting Pakistain amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

The US accuses Pakistain of not acting against cut-thoat networks allegedly based on Pak soil. The two countries have also been at loggerheads over still-closed NATO supply lines.

Pakistain, on the other hand, blames NATO and Afghan forces of failing to act against cut-thoat safe havens in Afghanistan, and repeated border violations and attacks by hard boys.

The Isaf commander's visit follows a similar cross-border attack by Talibs on Sunday, resulting in the deaths of 13 Pak soldiers.

Sources told DawnNews that General Kayani
... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI...
has raised the issue of border violations and cross-border attacks in his meeting with the US General in Rawalpindi, adding that such incidents will not be tolerated in the future.

Sources added that the US general has assured Gen Kayani that he will raise the issue with the Afghan National Army.

The Pak military had said on Monday that US Marine Gen John Allen's visit was to focus on reviewing the "progress made in the implementation of recently evolved border coordination measures and standing operating procedures."

Relations between Pakistain and the US have plunged since Pakistain's closure of supply lines to Afghanistan.
