    One Pakistani soldier dead in heavy fighting with Afghan border forces

    MIRANSHAH, PAKISTAN: One Pakistani soldier on Wednesday was killed after Afghan and Pakistani border troops engaged in heavy fighting, Ary News Television reported.

    The shooting began at about 11:00 a.m. local time as border guards exchanged fire across the Pakistani-Afghan border near the southeastern province of Khost.


    Three Pakistani soldiers were injured while one another one was killed during the combat. Afghan forces did not report any casualties.

    Both sides blamed each other for initiating the attack. Afghan troops fired mortar shells at a Pakistani military checkpost in the Parachinar tribal region.

    An Afghan security post was hit with artillery and mortars by Pakistani soldiers. The shooting continued in the Ghulam Khan area of Gurbaz district.

    General Almar Gul Mangal, commander of the Afghan border police's fourth battalion in Khost, blamed Pakistani troops of causing the heavy fire exchange.

    In contrast, a government official of Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region said NATO-led forces hit a paramilitary post in Ghulam Khan with heavy weapons from across the border.

    The NATO's office in Kabul said that an investigation was launched to determine who initiated the shooting.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    In Guwai which is right at the parachinar crossing, The frontier corp had moved the border post in to afghan territory and the afghan border guards shot at them, the frontier corp rushed them and killed 25 afghan border guards. I dont know how many of the frontier guards were killed. Pashtun against pashtun.

        afghan army is a joke just like its government, and no it is predominatly tajik and hazara. Pashtuns refuse to join the army since the government is seen to them as a foreign puppet. many pashtuns in the army are informants to the resistance. The afghan army even sells their weapons to the taliban. The people in the government and the army are only their to see if they can make any money. they sell all their supplies the americans give them.
