No Afghan response after formal fence proposal: FO
2005-09-20
Islamabad has made a formal proposal to Kabul to fence the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the Foreign Office said on Monday. "They are yet to respond," Foreign Office spokesman Naeem Khan told a weekly briefing. He said details about the length and cost of the fence had yet to be worked out, but added that fencing the entire 2,400-kilometre border was not feasible. "The priority would be to fence those areas from where cross-border activity could take place."
Busy with the elections, I'd guess. I'd jump on it PDQ if I was them...

#2  Could it be dug under?

#1  The cheapest and best alternative would be to lay concertina wire to the depth of about 20 rolls, stacked. That would be damned impassable. Efforts to crawl under it would be hilarious.
