| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Pak Foreign Office claimed Wednesday that three soldiers of the country's Frontier Personnel were killed two others were maimed following shelling by the Afghan forces. The Afghan ambassador in Pakistain Janan Mosazai was called-in to the Foreign Ministry of Pakistain today regarding the shelling and other issues. "Ambassador of Afghanistan Janan Mosazai was called in by the Foreign Secretary, today, to convey Pakistain's concerns over recent spate of Afghan government's allegations and media campaign to malign Pakistain," a statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Pakistain said. Pakistain's Foreign Secretary stressed that such allegations undercut mutual confidence and affect the environment of bilateral relations that both countries had been working hard to improve. "Pakistain has been acting with maximum restraint and avoiding any blame-game," statement added. "A strong protest was also lodged on cross-border violations from the Afghan side on 16 and 17 August 2015, which resulted in shahadat of three FC personnel and injuries to two others," the statement said, adding that "The Afghan Ambassador was conveyed that, as a matter of policy, Pak authorities do not initiate fire and return fire only in self-defence." This comes as 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 Worldand 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. |
