Pakistan building fence along Afghanistan border
‘Pakistan says it has started building a fence along its volatile border with Afghanistan in an attempt to restrict the movement of militants that cross over the frontier and launch attacks.
The fence construction began in the northern tribal regions of Mohmand and Bajaur over the weekend as Pakistan’s army chief, General Qamar Bajwa, visited the “high threat zones.” He said the new border measure would be in the interest of both countries.

Najib Danish, the deputy spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, said Kabul was unaware of any construction work, noting that his government would move to prevent any such project.’
