Afghanistan warns Pakistan after border clash erupts again

Source: Reuters

Afghanistan warned Pakistan on Monday that it will bear the consequences of more clashes on their contested border, hours after a new bout of fighting erupted between the neighbors.

The clash is the latest indication of a sharp deterioration in relations between the important U.S. allies, and comes days before a Pakistani general election.

In the case of "any further unprovoked attacks by Pakistani forces, Pakistan will bear responsibility for any consequences," the Afghan Foreign Ministry said in the strongest words yet on the conflict.

It is unclear if there were any casualties in the Monday clash, which sparked a large protest in the Afghan capital, Kabul, drawing thousands of men chanting "Death to Pakistan".

Swords seem to be doing much better than plow shares. The real problem is with the so called dominate sentiment species on the planet.

Thanks baby bush. You gave nuclear weapons to a country that exists in the stone ages. A theocracy that horrendously treats its women and hates America. The teahadists here will be looking forward to the rapture now more than ever. Is the cheney, rice , bush underground metropolis ready in Buenos Aires yet? I think you may not be as welcomed as you thought in the Saud underworld...maybe I'm wrong.
