ISAF not reponsible for the security of Afghan borders
By Sajad - Mon Oct 29, 3:45 pm

NATO-led International Security Assistance Force officials on Monday announced that the protection of the borders in Afghanistan is not part of the ISAF’s mission inAfghanistan.

This comes as cross-border shelling from Pakistan continues in eastern provinces of Afghanistan during the past one and half years which led to growing criticisms towards coalition forces silence to react towards the shelling.

ISAF spokesman Brigadier General Günter Katz while speaking during a press conference in capital Kabul on Monday said protection of Afghanistan borders is not part of the ISAF responsibility based on the final statement of the Bonn Conference in 2001.

This is the first time ISAF officials deny responsibility for controlling the borders of Afghanistan during the past 11 years after the formation of Bonn conference in 2001.
