Pakistan closes Afghan border crossing after spat
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces closed the country's main border crossing on the western frontier with Afghanistan after both sides accused each other of beating up their soldiers, officials said on Friday.

The crossing between the Pakistani town of Chaman and Afghanistan's Spin Boldak was closed late on Thursday after Pakistani forces accused their Afghan counterparts of "kidnapping" a paramilitary trooper and beating him.

"The soldier was released late last night but he was badly thrashed," an senior official of Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps said.

He said Pakistani forces closed the crossing and were awaiting orders before reopening the crossing point.
