ISLAMABAD, July 30: US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers said on Wednesday that his country is helping Pakistan and Afghanistan to cool tensions on their volatile border.

Gen Myer said in a television interview before leaving for Afghanistan that a joint Afghan-Pakistan-US team was trying to resolve “technical issues on location of the border”.

“I think that will go away. I don’t think that will be a continuing issue,” he said.

Gen Myers added that Osama bin Laden could be hiding in “the more difficult terrain between Pakistan and Afghanistan”.

“That is the likely location ... but I don’t know anybody that knows for sure where he is,” the US general said.—dpa
