 Afghanistan's government said on Sunday that it recently established a 1,000-strong tribal militia force to tighten security along the border with Pakistan.

The force was formed a month ago to slow the flow of militants slipping back and forth across the frontier between Afghanistan's Kunar province and Pakistan's Bajaur area, Kunar Governor Assadullah Wafa told AP. "Al Qaeda, as well as the Taliban and other militants have camps over the border," he said. "They come across to launch attacks in Afghanistan and then run back." |
