This is how Modeen and her team get across the Durand Line (border) between Afghanistan and
Pakistan in the Hawkei (book ten, Modeen:Salvation)
Pakistan built the 2,640km border fence on the Durand Line, to aid its fight against terrorism. The fence separates Afghanistan from Pakistan and passes through rugged mountains, densely forested valleys and narrow rock passages. The border barrier consists of two sets of chain-link fences, separated by a 2-metre space filled with three rows of concertina wire coils. The double-fence, which is 3.6 metres high on the Pakistani side and 4 metres high on the Afghan side, is fitted with surveillance cameras and infrared detectors. And nearly 1,000 forts are also being constructed along the border to increase security.
