Zitat:Turkmen natural gas pipeline Tapi to cross AfghanistanLink: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11977744">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11977744</a><!-- m -->
A deal has been struck on building a 1,700km (1,050m) pipeline to carry Turkmen natural gas across Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.
The Tapi project aims to feed energy-deprived South Asian markets and transit fees may benefit Afghanistan. But details about security and funding were not addressed in the framework agreement reached by the four states.
The pipeline will have to cross Taliban-controlled regions and Pakistan's troubled border region.
