Pakistan resumes Nato supply into Afghanistan

Pakistan on Saturday resumed Nato supplies, allowing 14 containers to cross into Afghanistan from its north-western border at Torkham, officials said. Pakistan had temporarily stopped Nato supplies over security concerns on July 24 after gunmen attacked a convoy of Nato trucks on July 24, killing a driver, in the town of Jamrud on the outskirts of the main north-western city Peshawar.
"The Nato supplies have been resumed from today and we sent 14 containers" for international troops in Afghanistan," a local administration official told AFP on condition of anonymity because he is unauthorised to speak to media. A local intelligence official also confirmed resumption of supplies and the departure of 14 Nato containers to Afghanistan. A senior local customs official, Ubaidullah Khan, however, put the figure of containers, which left for Afghanistan, at seven, adding that they carried food stuff and clothes.
