Pakistan has ordered all unauthorised Afghan asylum seekers - an estimated 1.7 million people - to leave the country by November.
A spike in attacks along the border of the two countries which Islamabad blames on Afghanistan-based operatives, has escalated tensions this year.

The Taliban government urged Pakistan to rethink its unacceptable move.
Afghanistan's rulers have repeatedly denied providing refuge for militants who target Pakistan.
Last week, a blast at a mosque in Mastung city, near the border with Afghanistan killed at least 50 people during a religious celebration.
