Two Pakistani soldiers hurt, Afghan guard killed in clash
2015-07-03
[DAWN] Two soldiers were maimed when Afghan National Army fired at Pakistain Army's position in Angoor Adda area of South Wazoo Agency on Wednesday.

An Afghan border guard was killed in the exchange of fire.

The Inter-Services Public Relations said that a rocket-propelled grenade-7 and a few rounds of small arms were fired on the Angoor Adda gate from the Afghan side causing injuries to the soldiers. Pak troops responded and targeted positions from where fire was coming.

The border-crossing point was closed after the incident. Local people said that the exchange of fire continued for more than an hour.

It is learnt that the maimed soldiers belonged to Frontier Works Organisation which builds roads and other infrastructures in border areas.

Official sources said the government had planned to construct an entry gate, 'Bab-e-Waziristan', along the Afghan border. Afghan authorities have reservations over the plan and asked Pakistain to abandon it.

They said that FWO workers went to the site early in the morning to resume work but came under attack. One official said the federal government had decided to establish customs station at Angoor Adda.
