The United States has donated over three hundred vehicles to the government of Pakistan to secure the shared border with Afghanistan for the pursuit and capture of Al-Qaeda and Taliban members. Nancy Powell, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, states that the presence of such equipment is essential for improving the safety of Pakistanis and Americans living in the border area. Meanwhile, U.S. officials report that a Pakistani border guard, who allegedly shot and injured an American soldier last Sunday, is now in custody of Pakistani authorities. The U.S. claims that after the shooting, a bomb fell in the border area within Afghan territory, but Islamic politicians in Pakistan assert that the bomb fell in the border province of Pakistan, which is home to active Islamic militant parties.
