FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda General John Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan, met Kayani on Wednesday in Pakistan to discuss prospects for greater Pakistan-Afghan border coordination and the issue of the violent intrusions from the Afghan side into Pakistan.
“It was a routine meeting to discuss border co-ordination,” a senior Pakistani army official told reporters, adding that “We also raised the issue of cross-border attacks on the Pakistan military from Afghanistan. We demanded that ISAF take action against militant sanctuaries in Afghanistan and eliminate the militant groups involved in cross-border attacks inside Pakistan.”
During the meeting Pakistan’s military chief raised the issue of an attack on a Pakistani post in Dir tribal region in which seven Pakistani soldiers were beheaded by the militants who entered into Pakistani territory from Afghanistan.
Pakistan said around 100 Afghan-based militants crossed the border into the northwestern district of Upper Dir on Sunday. Six soldiers were killed and 11 went missing. Pakistani officials said Tuesday that seven of them were beheaded.
Allen insisted on action against the Haqqani group and the Maulvi Fazlullah-led branch of militants. He alleged that militants were involved in terrorist activities in Afghanistan and was operating from Pakistan’s tribal areas.
The meeting comes as US President Barack Obama has blamed Pakistan for not doing enough to fight terrorism in its troubled northwestern tribal belt along the Afghan border.
This is while the US planes and helicopters have increasingly violated Pakistan’s airspace several times over the past months.
The unauthorized US drone attacks have drawn strong criticism from the Pakistani people and officials.
The US led the invasion of neighboring Afghanistan with the official objective of curbing militancy and bringing peace and stability to the region. More than ten years on, however, the region remains unstable and militancy has expanded towards Pakistan.
