Pakistan to mine Afghan frontier
12/27/2006 p>Pakistan is to fence and mine parts of its long, rugged frontier with Afghanistan to prevent cross-border raids by Taliban and al Qaeda militants, and stave off criticism that it is doing little to stop the bloody insurgency.
The announcement came amid deteriorating relations between Pakistan and its neighbour over Afghan and Nato accusations that resurgent militants are operating from sanctuaries in Pakistan.
Pakistan will also deploy additional troops at the frontier, Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammed Khan told reporters. There are already about 80,000 troops in its north-western tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.
Afghanistan quickly rejected the border plan, although Khan said Pakistan would be acting on its own soil, and didn't need Afghan consent. "Fencing or mining the border is neither helpful nor practical. That's why we are against it. The border is not where the problem lies," said Khaleeq Ahmed, a spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul.
