2016-03-24
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Top security officials from the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense visited eastern Kunar and Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province ot review the security situation as well as cross-border incursions by Pakistain.

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said the delegation of the top security officials is led by the commander of the border protection police forces Gen. Abdul Fatah Frogh.

A statement by MoD said Gen. Mohammad Afzal Aman accompanied the delegation from the Ministry of Defense during the visit to Kunar and met with the provincial governor Alhaj Wahidullah Kalimzai, commander of the border protection forces Gen. Wali Khan Shenwari, provincial police chief Gen. Abdul Habib Syed Kheli, NDS chief and the commander of the second division of 201st Corps of the Afghan National Army.

Following the review of security situation and report on recent cross-border incursions by Pak military, the commander of the border protection forces Gen. Frogh said the security forces have been instructed to respond to any future cross-border violation.

He said the Afghan forces are currently in better condition in terms of moral and equipment and are able to defend from the borders and national illusory sovereignty of the country.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.

Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how to drive one of these things?

Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles.

No, he said. Do you?...

a local tribal elder in Goshta district of eastern Nangarhar province, Malik Nadir Khan pledged support to the Afghan government and security forces.

He said the cross-border incursions by the Pak military have created problems for the local residents which continue since three years, forcing almost 200 families to abandon the area.

The cross-border incursions by Pak military intensified during the recent weeks and in its latest provocative move, the Pak military helicopters enter the Afghan air space in eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
and dropped several bombs in certain areas earlier this month.

The provocative move by the Pak military sparked anger among the Afghan people and officials with 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. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
strongly condemning the provocative act.
