"A 48-hour ceasefire between Afghanistan and Pakistan has been reached after tensions flared, with the exchange of deadly gunfire between the neighbors stoking fears of a wider conflict. The fighting followed strikes in the Afghan capital Kabul and the border province of Pakistan last Thursday that the Taliban blamed on Pakistan, though Islamabad has not officially acknowledged the attacks. The latest flare-up coincided with a historic trip by Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to Pakistan’s rival India, triggering concern in Islamabad." CNN
