[NEWS] U.S., Pakistan Join Forces For Afghanistan Border Ops

The Wall Street Journal reports on U.S., Pakistan cooperation on Afghanistan border security:

As part of the joint operation, which hasn't been previously disclosed, American officials are sharing extensive real-time intelligence with their Pakistani counterparts, senior American officials said. The two sides have also worked closely to seal the border and prevent insurgents from fleeing military operations in one country to havens in another, the officials said. [...]

The Central Intelligence Agency has used unmanned aerial drones to fire dozens of missiles into Pakistani territory recently, killing several senior insurgent leaders. American Special Operations commandos have mounted at least one ground assault into Pakistan, causing outrage among many Pakistanis.
