The Afghan border police claim that they were being attacked by Pakistani military

Confirming that some of the districts are under the direct threat of Taliban, Paktika provincial governor, Abdul Quyum Katawazy, said, " The Taliban are trying to sabotage security in some districts of this province, but we have preparations to defeat and naturalized their attacks.”

Paktika is bordering South and North Waziristan in Pakistan; the areas are considered to be the major haven for the Taliban fighters.

Claiming that the Pakistani government plays main role in the province's insecurity and instability, Paktika authorities said that they have evidences of Pakistani ammunations fired on to Afghan troops in the past.

Pakitika's instablity is not the first case of its kind, the Afghan government, in the past, had also charged Pakistani government for planning and conducting terrorists attacks in Afghanistan.

The commander of border police in Paktika, General Mohammad Naim Abdul Rahimzai said “Pakistanis attacked my soldiers in the border. They fire mortars on our officers. I showed the coalition troops the mortar shell fired up on us by Pakistanis.”

Meanwhile, the Paktika governor complaints from the shortage of police personnel in the province.

Taliban activities on the other side of the border have always been a source of concern for the Afghan government, Afghan people and the international community.

However, according to experts the recent operations of Pakistani government against the Taliban, has reduced these concerns.
