100,000 troops deployed along Afghan border

For the first time, it has been officially stated there are “over 100,000”
Pakistani troops on the country’s border with Afghanistan. The surprise
admission from Mohammad Sadiq, acting Pakistani ambassador to the
Untied States, was made during a panel discussion on Fox television
regarding an earlier report that a terrorist summit had taken place in the
area. He said the Pak Afghan border was a territory where troops had
never been stationed in history. Since soldiers were in the border area and
they were taking action there, a number of terrorists from that area had
dispersed to other places and they were on the run. In the past, the figure
for Pakistani troops deployed in the area had been placed at a maximum
of 70,000. What implication this has from the point of view of the
country’s defense against sudden or possible attack will appear to be in
need of careful analysis.
