**PESHAWAR: Twenty-six security personnel were killed and four others injured in a cross-border attack in the Chitral region on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Saturday.
**Check-posts in the Langorbut and Kavti areas of Arandhi and Ursun and Mir Khani in Drosht came under attack in an early morning raid when militants crossed over at 4:00am from Nuristan province in Afghanistan, officials said.
“Firing is still continuing in the area and it is feared that casualties might rise,” said an official.
There were unconfirmed reports of people missing, but officials said the situation was still unclear and there was limited communication because of the geographical location of the area.
Local sources said there were reports of militant activity in the border region after intense fighting in Nuristan.
Last year, an Afghan official claimed that Maulana Fazlullah, runaway chief of Swat Taliban, had been killed in a clash between security forces and militants in the Barg Mittal area of Nuristan.
The government has eyed the Afghan border with much suspicion and blames the Afghan government of not taking action against militants in the border areas. It is believed that militants who escaped the military operation in FATA and Malakand took refuge in Kunar and Nuristan in Afghanistan.
Militants from across the border have consistently attacked check-posts and raided villages in Dir, Bajaur and Mohmand from April to July this year.

death toll reaches 37 now!!! ...
Several militant leaders from the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), including Maulana Fazlullah and Maulvi Faqir who led the group in Swat and Bajaur, respectively, fled to Afghanistan in the face of army offensives and regrouped with the help of allies to threaten Pakistan’s border regions.
These militants have set up a base in the Sawoo Khwar area, in Damghan district of the Afghan province of Kunar, an intelligence official told The Express Tribune by phone from Dir district.
“Saturday’s attack was organised by Maulana Fazlullah, Maulvi Faqir and their lieutenants Miftakhudin, alias Shabar and Hafizullah, alias Kochwan,” the official said. The TTP’s Malakand chapter has claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to the BBC. The group’s spokesperson Sirajuddin claimed that 70 soldiers were killed in the attack and another seven were seized by the militants.
“The attack was planned in the Barikot village in Kunar province. Over 200 Pakistani fugitive militants, aided by 100 local Afghans crossed over into the Arnavi area of Chitral district around 4am. They had around a dozen horses loaded with arms and ammunition,” the official said.
The statement accused the US-led Nato troops and the Afghan National Army (ANA) of not acting on its intelligence against militants, who are launching cross-border raids into Pakistan territory from the Afghan side. “Due to scanty presence of Nato and ANA forces along the Pak-Afghan border, the terrorists are using these areas as safe havens and have mounted repeated attacks against security forces posts and isolated villages of Pakistan,” the statement said.

We have got to seal this border. Americans should be ashamed of this double policy which they accuse Pakistan of but are themselves using. They are happy to let Taliboos fight Pakistan.
