ISLAMABAD – Pakistan decided to enter into an agreement with Afghanistan to stop the signals of Afghan SIMs in Pakistani areas, local media reported quoting official sources said on Thursday.
The government of Pakistan had taken the stance that the Afghan made SIMs are being used for terrorism in Pakistan, reports said. Earlier, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lieutenant General Asim Bajwa in a media briefing said that the terrorists who attacked Bacha Khan University were carrying mobile SIM cards of Afghanistan origin and one terrorist’s phone kept receiving calls from Afghanistan even after he was killed.http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/national/21-Jan-2016/govt-decides-to-ban-afghan-sims-in-pakistan
Afghan rocket kills three in South Waziristan: AFP report
PESHAWAR – A rocket fired from Afghanistan hit a shop in South Waziristan Agency on Thursday, killing three people.
The incident happened in Angoor Adda Bazaar in South Waziristan.
“One of the two rockets fired from Afghanistan’s Birmal town hit a bread shop, killing three Afghan nationals who were residents of South Waziristan,” a senior military official told AFP.
The second rocket fell in a secluded place. The official said it was still unclear who had fired the rockets. An intelligence official confirmed the incident.
The bazaar had been closed for six months after skirmishes between Pakistani and Afghan troops over construction by Pakistan close to the border. Officials said it reopened just a week ago.
Pakistan’s mountainous western border became a hotbed of militants following the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
The military began a long-awaited push to clear insurgent bases from the North Waziristan tribal district in June 2014 after a bloody Taliban attack on Karachi airport sank faltering peace talks.http://nation.com.pk/national/22-Jan-2016/afghan-rocket-kills-three-in-south-waziristan
