The heads of the Pakistani and Afghan armies, and the commander of the Nato force in Afghanistan, met in Kabul on Friday to review efforts to fight insurgents straddling the border.

One of the main topics of the Tri-Partite Commission meeting was the establishment of centres along the Pak-Afghan frontier to improve intelligence-sharing, the Nato-led force said in a statement.

One centre has already been established near the Khyber Pass that links the countries and around three others are planned, an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman said separately.

A larger Joint Coordination Centre is also envisaged "to disrupt terrorist activity at the borders and will require the joint effort of all military forces along the border," ISAF Captain Kevin Callahan said in the statement.

The commission brings the Afghan and Pakistani militaries together every few months, with ISAF as a mediator, to improve border relations.

Afghan General Bismullah Khan Mohammadi, Pakistani General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and ISAF commander US General David McKiernan also signed a charter to formalise their commitment to the commission, ISAF said.

We would actually like new members to voice their own opinions and engage in discussions, instead of just joining the forum to cut and paste articles.

Since any article has to have a link for reference, restricting links helps in that sense. Also, prevents people from spamming with advertising links etc.

We haven't quite decided how we are going to enforce this - one idea being that we could just delete threads/posts such as yours, until you do hit the 15 post mark with quality posts.
