Afghan President Hamid Karzai has warned that he is ready to send troops over the border into Pakistan to confront militants based thereAfghan President Hamid Karzai

He said that when militants crossed over from Pakistan to kill Afghans and coalition troops, his nation had the right to retaliate in "self-defense".
Karzai's remarks came two days after Taleban fighters attacked an Afghan jail, freeing hundreds of militants.
Pakistan denies providing a safe haven for the Taleban or other militants.
Karzai has long pleaded for Pakistan and international forces to confront militants in Pakistan but has not before threatened to send troops over the border.
The BBC's Quil Lawrence in Kabul says it is the strongest language yet from Karzai on his neighbor.
At least 15 insurgents have been killed in southern Afghanistan during a search for the hundreds of prisoners who escaped Kandahar's prison, the US military said on Sunday.
It said it had not confirmed that any of the dead were part of the group of inmates who escaped the jail.
A further five suspected militants were captured, the military statement said.
Afghan officials say about 900 inmates escaped after the prison was attacked by Taleban militants on Friday. Among them were some 350 Taleban members.
International and Afghan security forces have been hunting for the detainees since the break-out.
Afghan officials said about 20 had been recaptured on Saturday and Sunday.
The US military said the insurgents killed had been found at a farm compound in Kandahar province where a cache of weapons was also discovered.
"The combined forces used precision air strikes to destroy the compound after insurgents attacked with small arms fire," the statement said.
Kandahar is one of the key battlegrounds in the Taleban's insurgency against President Hamid Karzai and troops from Nato and a US-led coalition.
