Rocket attacks: Kabul seeks US help against Pakistan
By Tahir Khan

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.
