Afghanistan summons Pak ambassador after 8 policemen martyred in heavy shelling
2015-08-19
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Pak ambassador in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
was summoned in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan (MoFA) following indiscriminate shelling by the Pak forces which left eight members of the Afghan Border Police Forces martyred.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) said a strong protest was lodged with the Pak ambassador Syed Abrar Hussain after he was summoned this evening.

Deputy Foreign Minister in Administrative Affairs Atiqullah Atifmal told Mr. Hussain that eight members of the Afghan Border Police forces were martyred in heavy shelling on check posts in eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
on Monday morning and afternoon.

Atifmal further added that the market of Do Kalam was also torched and enormous financial loss was incurred to the local residents in Nari district as a result of the indiscriminate shelling by the Pak forces.

He told the Pak envoy "This is not the first time you have been summoned regarding the heavy artillery shelling by the Pak military on areas along the Durand Line. But unfortunately we have not seen any long term change in Pak military's offensive acts."
