Pakistan denies firing rockets into Afghanistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's army is denying it fired hundreds of rockets into two eastern Afghan provinces over the past three weeks.

Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said Monday that no rounds have been intentionally fired into Afghanistan. He said it is possible that a few rounds may have accidentally fallen into Afghanistan when security forces targeted militants carrying out cross-border attacks into Pakistan.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday that hundreds of rockets have landed on Afghan soil.

The Pakistani spokesman claimed there have been five major attacks on border posts in the last month by groups of up to 300 militants who crossed into the country from Afghanistan. He said 55 paramilitary soldiers and tribal police have been killed in the attacks and 80 others injured.

Bin Laden's Son Escaped the U.S. Raid, Pakistan Says

  



During the chaos of the Navy SEAL raid on Osama bin Laden's compound,  Bin Laden's Son                   escaped and is presently at large, a Pakistani security official tells ABC News. According to U.S. officials, bin Laden's son named Khalid was killed but it's unclear if another son, 18-year-old c, was present at the time of the raid.. Now Pakistani investigators say "it appeared someone was missing from the sprawling compound," reports ABC.

It will be interesting to see if bin Laden's wives confirm the report. One of the wives is Hamza's mother and is currently in Pakistan's custody. According to CNN and Al Jazeera, Pakistan agreed to grant the U.S. access to the wife, though a current timeline isn't in place for when that will happen.
