Where possible, it should be mined as well.

Aren’t landmines banned under international law?

No.

 

[ARMalik]

Why can't they not open refugee camps inside A-Stan and keep everyone there?? Why the hell do they have to bring them into Pakistan and create security and terrorism problems?

 

[waqar911]

How much of the border is still unfenced? Does anyone have accurate estimates?

Only ones that cannot be detected are banned. Ones that can be are allowed.

 

[Gangetic]

Finish the fence ASAP. Build more forts. Increase surveillance. Recruit more informants in ex-FATA.

There is no international law....look at what Israeli terrorists do in Palestine

Been tried in the past but the Afghans refuse and demand to come in to Pakistan.

Every Afghan think that intellectually and morally so high that don't deserve to live in Afghanistan. They match themselves to Europe and America. ... but the majority of them are losers, who leave their country and never look back.
But, we have to admit the truth ... including us, too many other powers have the blood of Aghan nation on our hand... we should be brave enough to admit the truth.

From what I was told by folks in the Army, most of the border has been fenced with Afghan border side fence being 11ft in height and Pak side being 8ft and the 6-10ft gap in between has barbed wire which has electricity running through it. There were also talks of surveillance cameras which can detect movement and alert security forces but this was too costly at the time and wasn't the priority. Anyone with more information on this?

 

[Trango Towers]

Yeah but they are Israel and you are Pakistan.

And you are a Indian..... now slap yourself for being shameless

This should be security priority number 1.

Fence it, mine it, fill it with lights and sensors, have border posts, have drones to monitor the border and have remote controlled mobile machine guns - anything and everything to keep it secure.
