Pakistan recovers stolen Nato supplies

Pakistani police said yesterday they had recovered four Nato transport containers loaded with US Army jackets and laptop computers that had been stolen while on their way to Afghanistan.
The containers were found parked at a flour mill on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar, area police chief Sabir Khan said.
The containers went missing recently, he said, but gave no date.
Four people, including a guard at the mill, have been detained, he said.
Police showed the loot to reporters. An AFP reporter said the containers were loaded with the US Army jackets, each inscribed with individuals' names, stationery, coils of cable and laptops.
The bulk of Nato supplies trucked overland into Afghanistan are shipped to Pakistan's southern port of Karachi and driven to the northwestern crossing at Torkham or a southwestern crossing at Chaman.
More than 150,000 US and Nato troops are fighting against a nine-year Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan that is now at its deadliest.
