Pakistan allowing Taliban to use their territory to fire rockets into Afghanistan Posted: 03 Jul 2011 09:28 AM PDT Washington Post: Public and political anger at weeks of cross-border shelling from Pakistan boiled over in Afghanistan, as protesters took to the streets of the capital, lawmakers demanded explanations from the central government, and a senior border police official submitted his resignation. According to Afghan officials, more than 760 rockets have been fired into the eastern Afghan border provinces of Konar, Nangahar and Khost in the past six weeks, killing at least 60 people and wounding or displacing hundreds more. Afghan officials, including President Hamid Karzai, have lodged formal objections with Pakistan's government, but Pakistani officials have denied direct involvement in the attacks, saying they are being carried out by anti-Afghan militias beyond their control. "The people carrying the bodies of their loved ones on their backs come to me. I am the responsible person here, but nobody is listening to my voice," said Gen. Aminullah Amarkhel, chief of the national border police in eastern Afghanistan, who offered his resignation Friday in the past week in protest. He spoke by telephone to an Afghan TV news channel. ... Interior Minister Bismillah Mohammadi told legislators that in several recent meetings, Afghan officials had shown Pakistani officials shrapnel, shell casings and ammunition as evidence of the attacks, but that "each time they shamelessly deny it." He said he had told the Pakistanis, "You want to hide something as big as the sun with two fingers." Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak also said diplomatic efforts had failed to stop the cross-border attacks. Afghanistan has long accused Pakistan's military and intelligence services of supporting some Islamist militant groups, including those that seek to destabilize Afghanistan. ... The US should use war planes to take out those firing the rockets. They could also set up artillery and rocket positions using counter battery radar to hit those responsible for the attacks. We should tell Pakistan that we are free to attack the area because Pakistan clearly is not exercising sovereignty over the area.
