US hikes surveillance on Pakistan border

WASHINGTON: The top US military commander in Afghanistan says the US has increased its surveillance over the Afghan-Pakistan border, as Pakistan pounds a militant stronghold with airstrikes. So far officials haven't seen militants fleeing the latest offensive, which began on Sunday.

Marine General Joseph Dunford tells The Associated Press in an interview that the US is not coordinating military operations with Pakistan along the border, but officials have increased the amount of intelligence-sharing with the Afghans. He says the Afghan troops and US forces in that region are ready for any after-effects of the strike, including extremists seeking refuge in Afghanistan.

The US has long pressed Pakistan to root out Taliban militants who have found safe haven in the lawless tribal region of North Waziristan.
