[Dawn] Inspector General Frontier Corps Balochistan, Major General Saleem Nawaz has rubbished claims by western media that Mullah Omar and the Taliban's central council were present in Balochistan. | "Rubbish! Perish the thought!" |
The IG FC stated that Pak-Afghan border is effectively manned on Pakistan's side but poorly on the Afghan side. He said that the border was completely sealed off on the eve of the recently held Afghan elections.
Nawaz said that it was surprising that Pakistan had 260 check posts on the border whereas the Afghan side had only 40. He said that despite the poor security measures on their side, the Afghan government continues to blame Pakistan for the infiltration of Taliban.
