Four Afghan shells land near Chaman
2001-10-01
Four shells of Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG-7) landed and exploded near Pakistan border in Chaman area on Saturday. The shells were allegedly fired by the Taliban militia, sources said. The Pakistani border security officials while confirming firing of shells said that these were of RPG-7 calibre and these landed inside Afghanistan. However, no loss of life or other damage was reported from the other side of the border. "These were test fires and part of military exercise we have started in Afghanistan," Taliban officials told Pakistani border security officials when they talked to Taliban officials after the explosions. Taliban authorities further informed the Pakistani border security officials that Taliban militia has started exercises which would continue for some more days as they were bracing for possible US attack on Afghanistan.
