Iranian weapons getting through to the Taliban...
I guess Obama will also discuss this with Ahmadinejad...
Border police say they are regularly intercepting consignments of anti-tank mines and mortars bound for Afghan militants fighting Nato-led forces.
One shipment seized on May 23 along Afghanistan's 580-mile western border contained dozens of anti-tank mines.
"That's a regular occurrence," the official told the Daily Telegraph. "It tends to be heavier weapons like mines and mortars rather than Kalashnikovs".
Quantities regularly run into the hundreds and the weapons are usually brand new he added.
The disclosure that weapons are still freely flowing across the border follows Afghan army claims that Iranian weapons were recovered from a notorious Taliban and drug trafficker haven in Helmand province.
A four day sweep last month to clear the town of Marjeh found 44 bricks of Iranian-made explosives and dozens of Iranian-made mortars.
