As the newspaper notes, despite Islamabad's assurances of having closed the border with Afghanistan, the mercenaries managed to cross it using the mountainous locality. "They appeared in Kabul two or three days ago and are crossing the border in groups every day", The Washington Post quotes Nadir Shah, the Northern Alliance field commander in the Dernam region, as saying.
