Peshawar, Nov. 15 (TNS): Frontier Corps (FC) authorities handed over on Wednesday an Afghan security official who had entered Pakistan illegally a month ago.

Security forces apprehended Zabihullah from Kurram agency after he entered the area from the Karlachi border.

FC Commandant Colonel Farrukh Humayon and officials of the political administration were present on the occasion. Colonel Nisar represented the Afghan side during the handing over.

The move comes two days after two Pakistani servicemen were killed in a cross-border attack from Afghanistan.

On Monday, military’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said said absence of the Afghan government’s writ in its border regions, like in many other areas of the country, facilitated terrorists in carrying out such attacks.
