US troops deployed near Pak border: daily

IRNA

Islamabad, Nov 8, IRNA -- American troops have been deployed in Asmar 
in Afghanistan`s Kunar province amid reports that they were planning 
to close Binshahi border crossing linking Afghanistan with Pakistan, 
local press said. 
The News reported in its Saturday issue that Afghan militia force 
was deployed in Barikot close to Pakistan border, from where US troops
were earlier evacuated after coming under rocket attacks. Binshahi 
border is used for timber smuggling. 
The porous 2200-km long Pakistan-Afghanistan border has witnessed 
upsurge in infiltration in recent months as media reports indicate. 
The Pakistani law enforcement agencies have been engaged in 
activities to stop illegal cross border movements.
