Pakistan Military Fires 38 Missiles Into Kunar
2013-12-01
[Tolo News] The Pak military has fired 38 missiles into Afghanistan's Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
in the past two days, local officials said on Saturday.

The news comes as Pakistain's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
arrived in Kabul for talks with Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
. The two leaders were expected to focus on discussing peace talks with the Taliban, but with renewed border hostilities, which flared over the summer, it is likely they will have plently else to address.

The missiles landed in the Dangam and Shegal Districts of the province and there no casualties have been reported, according to Kunar Police Chief Abdul Habib Sayedkhili.

"1,466 missiles have been fired on Afghanistan from Pakistain this year, killing 18 civilians, wounding 18 others," he said.

Saturday marks Sharif's first visit to Afghanistan since he assumed office in June this year.

Sharif will meet Karzai and hold in-depth consultations on all issues of common interest, including the evolving situation in the region and ways to deepen and broaden Pakistain-Afghanistan bilateral relations, the Pakistain Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Prime Minister will also meet a delegation of Afghanistan's High Peace Council (HPC), led by its chairman Salahuddin Rabbani, the Foreign Ministry statement said.
