MIRANSHAH: Pakistani officials on Tuesday accused the Afghan Army of firing mortar bombs across the border, killing four and wounding two Pakistani soldiers in South Waziristan.
“Four soldiers were killed and two others wounded in the cross-border attack,” a security official in Peshawar told AFP, saying that the shelling continued for around two hours.
“More than 20 mortar shells were fired from across the border. Three shells slammed into a paramilitary Frontier Corps checkpost in Angoor Adda,” he said.

Unless Afghanistan understands that is being used and exploited by India, peace will not prevail. Afghanistanis is so beat up that it has no control over its own country and that the opportunist India has bases established in Afghanistan with its main goal to destabalize Pakistan, but it is backfiring as it has not only destabalized Afghanistan but may spread beyond Pakistan into India and involve a much wider region.
It's not easy to be the recipient of attacks from terrorist who use another countries sovereignty as a protective shield - looks like your getting a chance to wear another mans shoes for a while - hope you enjoy the blisters.
