Karzai warns Pakistan over cross-border incursions

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election.

warned Pakistain over cross-border incursions and called on Pak authorities to prevent deterioration of relations between the two nations with cross-border attacks.

, located along the Durand Line.

He said such provocative acts will further intensify tensions among the two nations and will have a negative impact on the relations of the neighboring countries.

The violation by the Pak air force followed two days after the Afghan and Pak forces exchanged fire along the Durand Line in Goshta district of eastern Nangarhar

province.

Thisc omes as a similar incident took place between the Afghan and Pak forces along the Durand Line earlier last year.

Local officials in Kandahar province said the festivities between the two sides broke out last year after Afghan border police forces stopped the Pak troops to create check posts inside the Afghan soil.
