Pakistan suspends Nato supply route over security

[IZVINITE]

PESHAWAR: Pakistan has temporarily stopped Nato supply trucks crossing its northwestern border into Afghanistan over security concerns due to fears of militant attacks, officials said Thursday.

Gunmen on Tuesday attacked a convoy of Nato supply trucks, killing a driver, in the town of Jamrud on the outskirts of the main northwestern city Peshawar.

“Movement of Nato vehicles has been temporarily suspended since Wednesday evening to beef up security,” a paramilitary official told AFP.

“We have launched a search operation in the hills surrounding Jamrud,” the official added.

Local administration official Bakhtiar Khan confirmed the supply route had been suspended due to “security reasons”.

“Intelligence officials have informed the authority that attacks may occur on Nato vehicles this week and in the light of this a security plan is being chalked out,” Khan told AFP.

He said the Nato route would “resume very soon”, but that until then trucks carrying supplies for the 130,000-strong US-led mission in Afghanistan had been told not to approach the border.

As long as US weapons and dollars will be recovered from raw,mosad and cia backed militants most of which are not even circumcised (PNS mehran attackers) I dont think US will enjoy a smooth ride.As for as money is concerned Pak was charging 250$ a container before 26/11 and is charging the same even today which ofcourse is nothing comparing the cons but what to do of these corrupt politicians.We wanted an apology and despite all their ego and selfesteem they had to bow infront of US.I guess indian should see where they stand in this context and focus on assam,kashmir,poverty and hunger instead of poking its hairy nose in Pak affairs...
