              Reports: Pakistani and Afghan Forces Clash at Border

   Reports from northwestern Pakistan say Afghan and Pakistani security
   forces along the border exchanged gunfire late Wednesday.
   Pakistani authorities say Afghan troops began firing at a checkpoint
   across the border, and the Pakistani side was forced to respond. The
   Pakistanis say at least two of their security personnel were wounded.
   Afghan security officials blamed the other side, accusing the
   Pakistanis of trying to take control of a checkpoint inside Afghan
   territory.
   The exchange of gunfire took place in the Goshta district of eastern
   Nangarhar province, Afghanistan.
   It is the latest incident in a series of cross-border clashes, in which
   Afghan and Pakistani authorities have traded blame.
