| 2010-01-13 |
| [Dawn] Director General of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Gen Ahmad Shuja Pasha said on Tuesday that Afghan soil was being used for terrorist activities in Pakistan, adding that there could be no peace in Pakistan unless infiltration from Afghan border was stopped. Gen Pasha's statement came against the backdrop of increased US pressure to launch a parallel operation in North Waziristan. According to DawnNews, the ISI chief, who was briefing the parliamentary committee on national security, said the drug mafia in Afghanistan was supporting terrorists who were creating unrest in Pakistan. According to sources, members of the committee were of the opinion that the Pak-Afghan border should be fenced and cross-border movement should be closely monitored. The members also stressed the need for enhancing security along the border. After the meeting, Raza Rabbani told reporters that the members condemned the measures for screening Pakistani citizens at US airports. |
