NATO, Afghanistan not doing enough to stop Taliban militants from entering Pak, says Malik

Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik alleged that NATO and Afghanistan are not doing enough to stop Taliban militants crossing the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan. <br/><br/>Mr. Malik also disputed the widely-held belief that Pakistani militants are freely heading in the other direction to fight coalition troops. He blamed militants coming from Afghanistan for Friday's attack in Mohmand district. <br/><br/>The attack, the deadliest in Pakistan this year, killed more than 100 people. It happened in an area the Pakistani government had recently claimed had been cleared of militants and said was safe for civilians to return to. Mr Malik says he has intelligence information to prove that the attackers had crossed the border from Afghanistan.
