Taliban fighters

Hundreds of Afghan militants were reported to have crossed the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan, where they engaged in clashes with the Pakistani border soldiers, leading to the death of 26 Pakistani paramilitary and police. The attack in this area of eastern Afghanistan comes at a time when the U.S. army have largely pulled out of the area, following the Lisbon agreement adopted last year, by which the U.S. army is to withdraw from Afghanistan until 2014.

The militants were armed with heavy weapons and were able to seize control of a village after attacking three security check points in Chitral district. Pakistani forces responded to the raid, killing nine of the militants.

Chitral is located in an area with significant numbers of Taliban fighters. Early this summer Pakistan complained that 55 members of the security forces had already been killed by raids executed into Pakistani territory.

Afghan Soldiers

Pakistan demanded that U.S. and Afghanistan do more to control the area an restrain the flow of Taliban into their territories. This demand comes after years of similar demands from the U.S. coalition, which accused Islamabad more than once of not getting involved enough in the solution of the crisis, which led to the cut off funds from the U.S. government to the Pakistani military, especially after Osama bin Laden was spotted and killed on Pakistani territory.

Afghanistan in turn accuses Pakistan of firing 750 rockets into the eastern Afghan territory and that these rockets killed 40 Afghan people.

A car also exploded on Saturday inside Afghan border, killing four, and wounding 20; two blasts in Kandahar produced deaths and injures: the first wounded seven people, the second killed one civilian and wounded more than 20.

Taliban activity increased as the American troops are getting ready to leave the country where they have been stationed for the last 10 years, in a war that cost the American budget billions and produced little effects.

Taliban are asserting themselves more and more as the next leaders of the country, and are paving their way to power with dead bodies. From the house of the president of the country to civilians in the streets, the Taliban went on a killing spree meant to intimidate and produce terror.
