| NATO urges Pakistan to combat cross-border Afghan attacks |
| 2008-05-15 |
| NATO urged Pakistan Wednesday to improve security on its border with Afghanistan following a rise in cross-border attacks by Taliban fighters and Al-Qaeda militants. "The number of attacks is up significantly from the same period last year," the alliance's chief spokesman James Appathurai said. "There is not enough effectiveness in border control on Pakistan's side." "The concerns have been communicated to Pakistan," he told reporters. He said the level of attacks from across the border -- where Taliban fighters and Al-Qaeda militants control some of their operations -- climbed to a high in April close to figures recorded during peak fighting last summer. "The increase is some 52 percent more than same period last year. It's very close to the August 2007 peak we have seen last year," Appathurai said. "The main concern is the extremists regroup, rest, reconstitute and then move through the border again," he said. |
