No additional troops for Pak-Afghan border
 | You mean they were lying? That's never happened before, has it? |
Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao on Friday clarified that the government would not deploy an additional 10,000 troops along the Pak-Afghan border to supplement the current 78,000-strong troop level.
Talking to reporters after a certificate distributing ceremony, also attended by US Ambassador to Pakistan Ryan C Crocker, at Sihala Police Training Centre for police officials who had completed a course in VVIP protection, the minister said that there was no need to increase troop levels since the current deployment was sufficient to guard Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
