Pakistan shuts second border with Afghanistan

[NOWorNEVER]

Authorities shut down a second key border crossing into Afghanistan, halting trade supplies to Afghanistan and increasing tensions between the two nations in the wake of a bloody suicide bombing at a shrine in Sehwan, officials said Saturday.

The border closure at Chaman in southwest Baluchistan province came after an attack on a Sufi shrine in southern Pakistan on Thursday left 88 worshippers dead. The move was seen as an effort to pressure Kabul to take action against militants who Pakistan says have sanctuaries in Afghanistan.

Responsibility for the attack at Lal Shahbaz Qalander shrine in Sehwan was claimed by the Islamic State group.

The security forces have launched nationwide operations that they say have left more than 100 "terrorists" dead.

Pakistan closed the border at Torkham hours after the bombing and the Chaman border was shut late Friday, said a senior army official.

A second official confirmed the details, saying trucks and shipping containers carrying trade supplies were parked miles away from the border crossings. Torkham connects Pakistan to Afghanistan's Nangarhar province and Chaman is located near Spin Boldak in Kandahar.

The officials asked to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to brief the media on the record.

The latest developments come amid media reports that Pakistani troops backed by artillery targeted camps belonging to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Taliban, near the Afghan border, causing an unspecified number of militant casualties.

Inside Pakistan territory , stop more from comming inside from afghanistan, Good strategy. Too bad afghan army

Great move shut all borders and stop all movements, reduce communication to absolute minimum with these indo-american scrotums in kabul. Cleanse Pakistan thoroughly of this excrement of afghans, their facilitators and financiers.

then phase two needs to be raising of a death squad in afghanistan that is under Pakistan's control to hunt across afghanistan ridding of all indian assets in that country.

Gawadar needs a huge expansion to become an international port. It currently has only 3 births. Has anyone seen an international port with only 3 births? Which by the way were also constructed by the govt. of Pres. Musharraf. To my knowledge, consecutive govts. afterward did not spend a single dime on doing any expansion work on Gawadar. There is a solid reason for Indians' hate for Musharraf and their deep love for N.Sharif. He is detrimental to Pakistan.
