Afghanistan returns captured Pakistani soldier, five bodies

KHOST: Afghan tribesmen on Monday returned a Pakistani soldier they captured in a deadly skirmish along the countries’ border, as well as the bodies of five soldiers, the governor of Afghanistan’s Khost province said. The soldier and the bodies were handed to Pakistani troops, said Khost Governor Hukum Khan Habibi. The dispute arose over Pakistan’s work on a fence intended to span nearly all of the disputed 2,500-km border, much of it mountainous and porous.
