RAWALPINDI: NATO forces vacating checkposts in Afghanistan allow Afghan Taliban to cross the Pak-Afghan border and join the Pakistani Taliban in South Waziristan, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani said on Monday.

The above issue was raised by Pakistani Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani during a meeting with US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief General David Petraeus. Any good reasons for the NATO troops to vacate the check posts in Afghanistan bordering Pakistan in the neighborhood of South Waziristan! Removal of these check posts will allow Afghan Taliban to join Pakistani Taliban and also it will facilitate the Pakistani Taliban to flee into Afghanistan to fight another day. This very clearly speaks of the ill intentions our so called allies have about us. Earlier there was a lot of hue and cry on their part that Pakistan was not taking any serious action against terrorists in South Waziristan, and now that Pakistan Army is launching military operation, NATO has opted to provide terrorists with entry/exit points by vacating the check posts. This was the time that NATO should have beefed up/strengthened these check posts and asked Pakistan Army as to how else they could support the military operation in South Waziristan.
