Tunnels found on border with India

LAHORE, Nov 24: Pakistani authorities have found two tunnels dug from the
Indian side of the border which could be used by saboteurs, a senior police
officer said on Wednesday.

The officer, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters that the tunnels on
Pakistan's eastern border could have been used for smuggling or "terrorism".

The charge was made a day after a senior Indian police officer was quoted in a
news report as saying that Indian troops had found a 4.5-foot (1.3-metre)
wide tunnel, dug 100 metres inside their territory originating from the Pakistan
side. The officer said one of the two tunnels was dug from the south of an
Indian village, Kamalpur, and the other was also close to the same village.

"Indian border security forces, in collaboration with smugglers, have dug these
tunnels to... send terrorists in Pakistan for subversive activities and smuggling
goods," the officer said.

The official said the matter of the tunnels was discussed during a meeting of the
commanders of the border forces of the two countries held in Lahore last
week. As a follow-up of the meeting, border force commanders of the two
sides visited one such tunnel on Tuesday.-Reuters
