KABUL, April 23 (Xinhuanet) -- The US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan Saturday confirmed insurgents' infiltration from Pakistan to Afghanistan.

    "The forces that coalition is engaging in Khost province along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan from what forces we are saying that individuals are coming, some of them not all of them but back and forth across the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan," Cindy Moore told newsmen at a press briefing here.

    Her remarks came just four days after a bloody engagement between the US troops and suspected Taliban fighters in the bordering province of Khost in which according to US military sources 14 enemies were killed and several others captured.

    The restive province of Khost has been considered as a main holdout of the Taliban's remnants in southeast Afghanistan.

    "We are seeing some of them as I said not all of these anti-coalition militias coming back and forth and some of these attacksare coordinated," the spokesperson noted.

    To stem out the alleged cross border terrorism along the 2,600 porous Pakistan-Afghanistan, the 9th round of tripartite talks between the US and its two frontline allies in war on terror was concluded last week in Islamabad with recommendation to tighten security along the border between the two neighbors.

    Afghan officials have several times in the past accused Pakistan of supporting Taliban militants, but Islamabad rejected the claim as baseless.

    Taliban's chief Mullah Mohammad Omar, whose regime was ousted by US-led invasion in late 2001, has vowed to continue Jihad or holy war until the US-led foreign troops leave Afghanistan. Enditem
