The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Deputy Chief of Staff, Maj Gen Richard Rossmanith on Wednesday said that the Afghanistan-Pakistan border is a long-term challenge.
Rossmanith, the top official of coalition forces fighting in Afghanistan, warned that the lengthy border with Pakistan is an escape route for terrorists and a transit point for explosives that may never be plugged, reported CNN.
“These borders, with respect to the terrain, may never be fully controllable,” said Rossmanith.
“This always will be a challenge and we need to do a lot within the country to actually mitigate the challenges we face at the borders,” he said from Afghanistan in a video link with journalists at the Pentagon.
