美稱阿巴邊境襲擊增三倍 (US Says Attacks Along Afghan-Pakistan Border Have Tripled)

美國軍方說，激進分子在阿富汗沿巴基斯坦邊境一帶發動的襲擊增加到原來的3倍。美國領導的駐阿富汗聯軍發言人說，北瓦濟裏斯坦附近的襲擊事件增加得更多。那是一個部落地區，巴基斯坦當局同意與那裏的激進分子休戰。這位發言人沒有說明在阿富汗發動襲擊的激進分子是否把北瓦濟裏斯坦做為他們的基地。

阿富汗和巴基斯坦邊境一帶的暴力事件加劇了阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊和巴基斯坦總統穆沙拉伕之間的緊張關係。這兩位領導人星期三在白宮跟美國總統布希共進晚餐，討論合作打擊恐怖主義。

Violence along the border has led to increased tensions between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his Pakistani counterpart, Pervez Musharraf.　The two had dinner with President Bush at the White House Wednesday, discussing how they could work together to defeat terrorism.
