Pakistan repeatedly urged Afghanistan and US-led forces there to go after notorious Taliban cleric Maulvi Fazlullah, whose fighters took part in cross-border raids that killed about 100 members of Pakistans security forces in recent months, but no action was taken, an army spokesman said on Monday.The problem refuses to go away, the Pakistani spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas, told the media. The complaint could deepen tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan over cross-border attacks by militants on targets in both countries.
