NATO led forces in Afghanistan move close to Pakistan border
Updated
Pakistani tribal elders have raised the alarm over a build-up of hundreds of NATO-led troops on the Afghan side of the border.
Intelligence sources say some 300 NATO soldiers equipped with tanks, armoured vehicles and heavy weaponry have been moved very close to Lwara Mundi, a border village in North Waziristan.
At a news conference 5 tribal leaders said they want the international coalition to know that three million tribesmen will rise against them if they try to move into Pakistan.
But Pakistan's military has downplayed fears of any intrusion saying it could be just operational movement of forces within Afghanistan.
