ISLAMABAD:


The Afghan government on Monday sought the United States support against alleged ‘rocket attacks’ by Pakistan.


Washington is bound to help Kabul to counter external threats under a strategic partnership agreement, Afghan officials said.

The Afghan foreign ministry said it has formally submitted a letter to the US Embassy in Kabul, informing it about the recent “Pakistani air strikes,” in Dangam district of Kunar.

The US Embassy in Kabul has not made any comments on the letter.

“Pakistani rocket attacks have continued on Afghanistan for years, causing human and material loses of Afghans,” the Afghan ministry’s letter said. A copy of the letter is available with The Express Tribune.

“This action is a flagrant violation of Afghanistan’s national sovereignty and is considered as a clear aggression on its soil,” the strong-worded letter said.

I will start to say that Pakistan is a region cancer both for Afghanistan and India. British gift to India and Afghanistan. There are no afghan refugees in Pakistan, remember agreement of durand, run out 1993 then i will say that pakistaniss are refugees, Afghans owns half of pakostan, Till Attak. India wants Afghans to become strong regionally allong with India to cut down the cancer cause its spreading. Iran is also paying heavy price to have pakostan in their backyards. Remember pakistanis, Afghanistan will rise higher and stronger and then we will reclaim our inches of soil from you. Durand agreement is over!!!
