AFP: Pakistan concerned about US plan in Afghanistan: US general: "WASHINGTON (AFP) — Pakistan has voiced concern that US reinforcements in Afghanistan's south could push Taliban insurgents and refugees over its porous border, a US general said on Wednesday.
The commandant of the US Marine Corps, General James Conway, said Pakistan's military chief, General Ashfaq Kayani, conveyed his worry about a planned push by the US military in southern Afghanistan in a recent meeting.
'He expressed concern that our forces going into the south could cause a refugee problem that Pakistan is ill-equipped to handle right now, based on their fiscal scenario, and the possibility that we could be forcing Taliban out of the south and onto supply lines that the Pakistani forces are currently trying to protect for us,' Conway told reporters."
