NATO supplies remain suspended for 5th day - Lahore_Real_Estate - 10-05-2010 01:44 PM
LANDI KOTAL: The NATO supply through Torkham in the Khyber Agency remained suspended for the fifth day as over 200 tankers and containers queued up at the border point. Khasadars and security forces are providing security to the stranded containers packed with NATO supplies. The owners of the containers and tankers said that they were satisfied with the security arrangements as no untoward incident had taken place during the last four days. The owners demanded the government decide the matter as early as possible. Angered by repeated attacks by NATO helicopters on militant targets within its borders, Pakistan blocked one of the supply routes for NATO troops in Afghanistan after a strike killed three Pakistani soldiers in the western Kurram region. About half of all non-lethal supplies for western forces in land-locked Afghanistan pass through Pakistan, giving Pakistan considerable leverage over the United States.
