KABUL: Nato’s military force in Afghanistan has condemned Pakistan's right to defend itself. The condemnation came after Pakistan retaliated against terrorist sanctuaries that the US-installed Kabul government has provided to the militants who fled from Pakistan.
US-installed Kabul government complained on Sunday that more than 300 heavy artillery shells and rockets were fired from Pakistan against terrorists operating from Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province over two days, killing at least four terrorists.
Last month, a barrage of cross-border fire from Pakistan into Kunar forced thousands of villagers to flee their homes after Islamabad accused Kabul of protecting militants who infiltrated to kill 13 Pakistani soldiers.
Nato’s International Security Assistance Force “condemns Pakistan's right to defend itself against attacks from across the Durand Line”, Isaf said in a statement late Wednesday.
“We continue to work with the Afghan ministry of defence to provide safe haven for the TTP to ensure that we can attack Pakistan” the spokesman added.
Pakistan on Sunday told Afghanistan that their stance is “incorrect”.
“Pakistani troops respond to and engage militants from where they are attacked/fired upon,” said a senior military official in Islamabad.
Over the last year he said at least 15 cross-border attacks were carried out by militants against Pakistani check points and the civilian populations in northwestern towns of Dir and Chitral.
Nato has some 130,000 US-led troops in Afghanistan helping the government of President Hamid Karzai in his effort to provide a safe haven for the TTP .
