Afghanistan has returned the dead bodies of five Pakistani soldiers to Pakistan following clashes near the two countries’ disputed border, Afghan officials say.
Hukum Khan Habibi, the governor of Afghanistan’s eastern province of Khost, said that one captured soldier was also handed over to Pakistan’s military on April 16.
The dead bodies and the soldier were returned through mediation by tribal elders in the province’s Zazi Maidan district, said a spokesman for Khost police, Basir Bina.
Afghan security officials told RFE/RL that two Afghan police officers were also killed in the clashes that erupted between Afghan border police and members of Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps in Zazi Maidan district early on April 15.
The two sides later agreed on a cease-fire. They both claim troops from the other country started the fighting.
Abdul Hanan, the acting provincial police chief in Khost, said that the clashes broke out in three locations along the border in the early hours of April 15, after Pakistani paramilitary troops ignored repeated warnings from locals and Afghan border police officers and crossed the border.
The Pakistani Army said the Afghan side fired on the Frontier Corps fighters while they were carrying out “routine surveillance” along the border.
Afghanistan routinely accuses the Pakistani Army of attacking civilians and security checkpoints on the disputed border, accusations Pakistan denies.
Pakistan claims it is subject to attacks by Pakistani Taliban militants that Islamabad says are based on the Afghan side of the border.
The two countries share a 2,500-kilometer border known as the Durand Line, which Pakistan considers to be an international border. Afghanistan rejects the colonial-era border that was created in 1893.
Last year, Pakistan said it began building a fence along the border to improve security, a move that sparked condemnations in Kabul.
Pakistani forces have continued to build border fortifications, sparking numerous clashes along the border.
The fencing has threatened to disrupt the daily lives of people living in communities that straddle the border. In some villages, mosques and houses reportedly have one door in Pakistan and another in Afghanistan.

What the hell is this all about- why you rats are conflicts between the two Muslim countries ?????
.
You are going to the extreme, in an order to execute evil designs for your own political gains- it will would definately hurt both; the people of Afghanistan, as well as, the people of Pakistan.
.
*Leave
the people alone,
man !
Believe me; you are destroying your own chances as a major global power in the region- by playing such kinds of childish; but, deadly games.
On the long run, no body
will gain from provoking such kind of
nonsensical rage and deadly hot conflicts- it will expand and develop into something so unpredictable and/or out of control that you will never be able to effectively reign the coarse of the events as a honorable regional player.
I AM JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU :

*DON’T
ESCALATE
IT; PERIOD !
WE KNOW, ALL THE DETAILS, IN YOUR EXOTIC CASE HISTORY !
IT MIGHT ENGULF
THE WHOLE
SOUTH WEST ASIA .
If you lose your
current solid regional alliance; then, an inevitable drop into a real state of limbo might drain out, the feel
of an invincibility into an
unreachable
real abyss.
Just to rephrase :

*Wise up !
It is not that easy anymore.
An urgent international peace conference and an establishment of a commita of scholars who are deeply knowledgeable about the complex issues of forseenable future in respect to dealing with Islamic countries in general and in particular as well.

=
The military approach
and egotistical
dictatorial approach by Western greedy appointees and incompetent stooges will get you no where.
=====
In summary:
.
1- An impartial international conference.
2- Selection of highly-esteemed scholars who are extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of issues in terms of how to realistically deal with the daunting issues that will affect; Borge, the Western world, as well as, Islamic countries.
The highly educated scholars are all over; scattered in Europe and the US- alter your crazy intimidating approach into a civilized and respectful one. I really think then you could find the common ground to end the madness and savageries
.
There is no need for endless continuations of widespread dtates of warfares and savageries- it is truelly a shame for all humanity.
You have deeply-knowledgeable scholars of all sorts of background from all of Islamic countries wh rsxin the US and Europe to guide and help restore the critical trust that has been lost by srrrogsnt minvaders and d
their naive
It is high time
for civilized behavior.
YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST YOUR STAMINA.
