US says Afghanistan cross-border operations in Pakistan unwise
Updated
The United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, says threats by Afghanistan to pursue Taliban insurgents across the border into Pakistan are not wise.
Dr Rice is calling for cooperation between the two nations after Afghan President, Hamid Karzai angered Pakistan when he threatened cross-border action as a right of self-defence against Taliban forces.
She says it is probably not wise to talk about Afghan cross-border operations, and it's better Pakistan and Afghanistan cooperate on their respective sides of the border.
Dr Rice says it is probably better that the respective governments deal with their own problems.
