巴基斯坦否认故意轰击阿富汗领土

Pakistani officials are denying allegations by Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the Pakistani military is routinely firing artillery into on Afghanistan.

阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊指责巴基斯坦军方例行地向阿富汗境内发射炮弹，巴基斯坦官员拒绝承认。

Pakistani officials deny Karzai allegations

Pakistani military officials say that they are not intentionally firing into Afghan territory, but some munitions may have crossed the border as the Pakistani army chased militants into Afghanistan.

巴基斯坦军方官员说，他们没有故意向阿富汗领土开炮，不过巴基斯坦军方在打击逃往阿富汗的激进分子时，有些炮弹很可能越过了边界线。

Army Spokesman General Athar Abbas says there is no telling if those shots landed on Afghan territory, but says Pakistan has been pursuing militants using that territory to repeatedly attack Pakistani border posts.

军方发言人阿巴斯将军说，没有办法说明那些炮弹是否落入了阿富汗境内，不过巴方军队一直在追剿那些利用边境反复袭击巴基斯坦边界哨所的激进分子。

"Militants have been attacking our check posts. And a number of incidents, about five major engagements. So maybe when the militants were escaping back to the border, in engaging them a few rounds would have accidently gone across. That possibility cannot be ruled out," Abbas stated.

他说：“武装激进分子不断袭击我们的检查哨所。有一连串这类袭击发生，大约有5次主要的交火。因此很可能在激进分子逃回阿富汗领土过程中，我们的军队和他们的几次交火可能会有子弹炮弹飞越过边境。这种情况是难以避免的。”

Long accused of allowing safe havens on its side of the border, Pakistan in recent weeks has begun reversing the accusations and saying that as NATO forces withdraw from Afghan territory it leaves a security vacuum that anti-Pakistani government militants are using to launch cross-border attacks.

巴基斯坦长期以来被指在其边境地区为恐怖分子 提供安全庇护所。而最近几个星期巴基斯坦反过来指控说北约部队从阿富汗领土撤离，让当地形成了安全空白，给反巴基斯坦政府的武装人员以跨越边境攻击的可乘之机。
