Pakistan to Monitor Border With Afghanistan

Pakistan is set to monitor the Pakistan-Afghanistan border with a satellite monitor system. The system will check cross-border movement by the taliban and by NATO forces. Yeah, I feel a lot better now. Why do I get the feeling the monitoring system is only going to be monitoring NATO forces?. China View

ISLAMABAD, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has installed satellite monitoring system on its border with Afghanistan, enabling officials to watch border activities while sitting in Islamabad, the chief of the country's interior ministry said Tuesday.

Rehman Malik told the National Assembly that the system would not only check illegal cross-border movement but also get information of border and space violation by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Afghanistan.

The system has been installed two days after Afghan President Hamid Karzai threatened to send troops to Pakistan to hunt militants in the tribal regions, the News Network International news agency reported.
