Pakistan to landmine Afghan border:

Pakistan will fence and land mine parts of its border with Afghanistan to prevent cross-border militancy, the Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

Pakistan will also deploy additional paramilitary troops at the frontier, Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammed Khan told a news conference.

The announcement comes amid growing international criticism of Pakistan over alleged infiltration of Taliban and al-Qaida militants from Pakistan's border regions into Afghanistan.

"In keeping with our policy to prevent any militant activity from Pakistan inside Afghanistan, the Pakistan army has been tasked to work out modalities for selectively fencing and mining the Pakistan-Afghanistan border," said Khan, the ministry's top career official.

Pakistan's intelligence service ISI has been helping these militants all along. Are we to believe that the militants won't have maps of where all the mines are?

The only thing these mines will do is blow up some yaks and innocent people.

Also notice that more "paramilitary" personnel will be used. In the tribal regions of Pakistan, you can bet that means the same militants who are the targets of this supposed crackdown.

This is all window dressing to show Pakistan is really trying to crack down on the forces aiding the Taliban and al Qaeda. They are playing both sides of the street. Their people support the militants, but they don't want the world to cut off aid and trade with them, so they play this little game to make it look like they are trying.
