@amjad, Which border? Seriously though pak have no money to pay back its loans, so how do u expect them to fence the border?
@Amjad: When the people start paying their due taxes and light bills.
The Chitral Scouts have always done a good job of dealing with anti state criminals coming in from Afghanistan but when will the government fence and mine the border to keep these people out?
Good job by the army! They should also go after the home grown 'lashkars' and other loonies.
