Hmm. Does anybody know the regional politics at play here? Are the Pakistanis just that pissed at the jihadist spillover?

Pretty much. The Afghanistan Taliban has links to the Pakistan Taliban who are trying to destabilize Pakistan. So Pakistan doesn’t want anything to do with Afghanistan.

Wow. They must really be kicking themselves for keeping the Taliban in business so long. Absolutely hoisted by their own petards.
