, has said that army troops and Frontier Corps personnel had been deployed in areas bordering Afghanistan to stop krazed killer attacks from across the border.
In an interview with Radio Pakistain, he said Pakistain would not allow Death Eaters to attack its checkposts and border villages and kill civilians.
The ISPR director general said about 100 personnel of police, Levies and paramilitary forces had so far been killed in attacks by Death Eaters from across the border during past three to four months.
The ISAF, he said, had been informed about the attacks and the location of krazed killers' hideouts had also been pointed out, but no action had so far been taken, which indicated that the safe havens and bunkers might have been destroyed or Death Eaters had decamped from there.
He said it appeared that there was no presence of the Afghan army or ISAF in the vast area from where Death Eaters were operating against Pakistain.
He said about 37 security personnel were killed in the Chitral attack, which was the first such assault and a matter of great
concern for Pakistain.
Replying to a question, he said there was a report about a krazed killer attack in Bajaur, but no casualty had so far been reported.
He said most of the krazed killers' attacks had taken place in Dir and the terrorist group which had decamped from Swat

He said all border checkposts had been strengthened and their numbers in Dir had been increased.

areas of Afghanistan and there were no security forces in the areas. It appeared that the Death Eaters were being supported locally and operating freely, he added.
He said Pakistain could not launch an operation across the border. The issue has been taken up with Afghan army personnel and ISAF, but no effective operation has been seen in these areas.
