Border row with Kabul: commission meets on 12th



By Our Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Aug 8: The tripartite commission, set up recently to resolve differences between Pakistan and Afghanistan, will meet on Aug 12 to settle border disputes between the two countries, a US official said on Friday.

Bill Taylor, the newly-appointed US Coordinator for Afghanistan, told Dawn he hopes the dispute would be settled in the commission’s next meeting.

The tripartite commission, which includes the United States, Pakistan and Afghanistan and was set up in April, has already held two meetings.

Mr Taylor said he had reasons to believe that the forthcoming meeting of the tripartite commission would be able “to resolve border issue peacefully.”

Mr Taylor said that despite joint efforts to control the situation, the border area was still being used for attacks into Afghanistan.

Such attacks, he said, were carried out by three elements, the remnants of the Al Qaeda, Taliban fugitives and supporters of “another extremist Afghan leader” Gulbadin Hekmatyar. The three, he said, appear to have entered into “some sort of alliance to carry out these attacks.”
