A tribal policeman has accused Afghan forces of crossing into southwestern Pakistan and snatching three men allegedly providing safe haven to militants fighting in Afghanistan.

Mohammed Azim says 13 Afghan security personnel drove nearly 2 miles (3 kilometers) into Balochistan Saturday and took the men from Thurkha village.

He said Sunday that officials have received unconfirmed reports that two of the men have been killed. Azim is a tribal policeman in Killa Saifullah district, where Thurkha is located.

Afghan officials could not immediately be reached for comment. The border in the area is not clearly marked.
