Pakistan Plans Border Minefield/Fence
Afghanistan says Taleban leaders plot some of their attacks on Afghan targets from Pakistani soil.
Pakistan was once the Taleban's main sponsor, but after the September 2001 attacks in the US, Islamabad joined the US-led "war on terror".
The Pakistani government denies it continues to support the militants or that it could do more to stop them crossing the porous border, and points to the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani troops fighting pro-Taleban militants in the country's tribal areas.
To stop the Taleban
the border between the two countries will be fenced and mined.
