A Pakistani paramilitary soldier was killed and another was injured on Wednesday in a gunfight with the Afghan forces, the military said, according to dpa. The clash was triggered as the Taliban militants tried to flee into Pakistan's tribal district of Bajaur Agency after attack on Afghan border post of Daud Qilla. "At 1100 hours local time (06:00 GMT) Afghan National Army troops approached our post at Nawa Pass in search of miscreants. They were informed neither the miscreants had come towards our check post nor they were firing from that location," a statement from Pakistani army said. "Due to misunderstanding some exchange of fire took place between Afghan National Army troops and Frontier Corps troops on the border," it further said. The local commanders of border security forces of the two countries were holding a meeting to resolve the issue.
