WASHINGTON, Dec 5: The White House has said that the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is “an area of concern”, which needs to be addressed.
Commenting on media reports that Taliban insurgents are moving across the border to carry out attacks inside Afghanistan, White House spokesman Tony Snow said that the
Bush administration continued to watch the events in Afghanistan.
He said that when President George W. Bush hosted a dinner for President Musharraf and President Karzai at the White House in September, there were “considerable conversations” about border security.
In that meeting, the Pakistani and Afghan leaders agreed to work on this problem, he said. “It is an area of concern, and it does need to be addressed,” the spokesman said.
